We all know how long it took to get the other extensions buiit, and frankly I think we're looking ten years at the least.Georobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213186069766951534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-1140893879814282662006-02-25T10:57:00.000-08:002006-02-25T10:57:00.000-08:00All the talk of shuttles reminds me of the lpg tra...All the talk of shuttles reminds me of the lpg trams used by Disneyland to fairy guests from the parking structure to the park. It's one of the most efficient means of transporting people short distances that I have ever encountered. It doesn't appear to very expensive either. Three trams ought to offer more than enough capacity for a 40K ballpark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-1140842390945073632006-02-24T20:39:00.000-08:002006-02-24T20:39:00.000-08:00Ever seen people leaving a Sharks game?

The same can be said for the shuttles used by fans that leave A's fireworks games early for BART. <BR/><BR/>Wolff and Fisher are going to bring in investor partners for this development. They're not going to commit one red cent without some decent returns.

There are land use issues involving the NUMMI property, and if they're not willing to sell, it's not like Fremont's going to be able to exercise eminent domain.<BR/><BR/>Unless a site can be found in the Fremont hills (not going to happen), they're all going to be flat.<BR/><BR/>There's no BART at Pacific Commons, but a shuttle ride would be no more than 5 minutes away from the future Warm Springs BART station, the same as if a ballpark were built at the Estuary.Marine Layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515986023439927575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-1140720912715780852006-02-23T10:55:00.000-08:002006-02-23T10:55:00.000-08:00There's one already available in the sidebar calle...There's one already available in the sidebar called Fremont.
