Straits Light Rail - My Version of M-1 Rail, but throughout the Metro Area!

[mtburb]

I just started on a multi-part map series of my own Straits Light Rail, which is basically a regional version of the proposed M-1 Light Rail project. It has eleven lines, seven of which terminate in downtown Detroit and like Chicago and Cleveland, each line has a color name. Three lines, specifically the Red Line [[Woodward), Blue Line [[Gratiot) and Green Line [[M-59) operate local and express services at all times, with the expresses only stopping every one mile [[except when the station spacing is that far apart). The system gets it's name from the straits of Detroit, commonly known as the Detroit River. I used the 2010 Transit Plan map [[even though the existing bus routes on that map are untouched from the 2001 version!) on SEMCOG's website as the basis. It was also inspired by a Woodward light rail map posted on the old forums a few years back. In case you can't find it, this is the thread it was posted in.

I have only released one map so far, it shows the routing of the lines that terminate in downtown Detroit, similar to Chicago's "L" downtown Loop. Several more will be posted, each showing the individual lines outside of the downtown loop. I don't know if it's ever gonna happen in real life, but feel free to comment on this anyway.

And if your computer can't be able to load that map, I have posted a screenshot of it. The green pins are the stations.


UPDATE: Maps for the Red, Blue and Green Lines [[the three most important lines) are now completed.
