Over at North Texas Historic Transportation’s web site, they’ve got scans of a 1974 document that shows an old plan to extend the Leonard’s/Tandy Center subway under the rest of downtown, complete with a route and station locations and designs. It’s an interesting bit of Fort Worth transit history that never was.

Responsible and thoughtful comments are welcome. Be aware, though, that this site exists in part as an advocacy site for New Urbanism and its potential to remake Fort Worth into an even more livable city than it is today. Thoughtful dissent is generally welcome insofar as it fosters thoughtful replies. Inflammatory dissent, whether intentional or not, will be deleted. Commenters whose comments we routinely delete will be banned. Nothing personal, but this is a privately owned and operated web site, and we are aiming for a specific tone and audience. Work within those guidelines and all will be well.

I looked at all these pages and thought of all the man hours that went into researching and drafting this document… and I’m sure it got nixed in a matter of minutes by some cretins that couldn’t think more than one year into the future. I’m so glad we have a mayor and council representation today that considers the future welfare of this city and its citizens and— HAHAHAHAA…
Damn, I couldn’t say that with a straight face anymore!!! HAHAHAAAAAAAA
Oh, their incompetence is killing me inside.
