I think it would be neat to see where some of the former local transit routes went. As the urban fabric evolved (housing, offices, commercial, factories built or torn down), how did service change? If you look carefully around town, you can sometimes see an abandoned concrete or asphalt pad where a bus stop used to be.
Does anyone have a feel for how transit (trolley and bus) evolved? What was the peak density of coverage? I would be interested to see how GRT's goal of getting every resident within X00m of a transit stop compares to historical service levels.
Are there any history-minded, transit advocates who are handy with mapping tools who would be interested?
