2008 Regional Rail Maps for SPUR

I created several maps for SPUR back in 2008 for their policy paper on regional rail "A Mid-life Crisis for Regional Rail". You can see all the images on my flickr account.

This one shoes short term urban improvements including:

Regional

• BART Metro - between Daly City and Downtown Berkeley and Daly City and Coliseum - trains would be more frequent, probably shorter, and look more like subway cars, i.e. fewer seats since they wouldn't travel as far
• Contraflow Lane on Bay Bridge for Transbay Buses
• Add new BART train control to allow more trains per hour to pass through the Transbay Tube and throughout the system.
• Add capacity and increase speeds on the Capital Corridor
• Electrify Caltrain

San Francisco 

• Central Subway, including a stop at North Beach
• Caltrain to Transbay Terminal (aka CDX - Caltrain Downtown Extension)
• Upgrading downtown SF BART stations - aka increase station capacity 

The map below shows long term Regional improvements including:

• New Transbay Tube (with 4 bores)
• Dumbarton Rail
• Vallejo Capital Corridor service crossing at Carquinez Strait
• BART to Livermore
• Extending SMART to San Quentin where a new ferry terminal would be built.
• many others.
