Red Line Midwestern Track Analysis

Oh hey, did a little wiki-research and google maps site visitation.
My section of track is super depressing... it's a generic mix of run-down housing, second-rate retail and defunct industry.

So... some thoughts.

• safety is going to be a major concern. Implementing some form of "blue light" camera system along the track would probably be extremely helpful to the community.
  
• Three of stations are placed at Y-shaped intersections along the roadways. This provides possible opportunities for intervention to create public spaces.
• There is an existing greenway crossing through Gwynn's Falls park midway between Allendale and Rosemont. It might be interesting to look at ways to encourage green commuting to and from the stations- this includes bikes, walking, buses and unicycles.
  
• There are abandonned buildings- mostly light industry or commercial- near some portions of the track. It might be helpful to investigate ways of turning these into something useful- i.e. plots for urban farming, loft residential, real commercial- either directly or through incentives.
