BIKE: Commuter Rails with Trails

[alan_drake]

Although I agree that the proposed Red Line in Austin will generate no
TOD, there are few errors and omissions.

Florida TriRail does have at least one TOD, a Ramada Inn at the Deerfield
Station and I suspect a couple of others.

TriRail is nearing the end of a massive track improvement, etc. program
which should (and I believe that the projections are accurate) raise
ridership to 90,000 daily and close to breakeven operating economics. 
There were severe operational issues with sharing heavy freight traffic
and Amtrak service on a single track before double tracking, etc.

Will these much higher ridership #s generate more TOD in South Florida ? 
I suspect so.
