[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vincent206: [QB] After one year of service, Brightline trains are becoming part of the South Florida urban landscape, according to [URL=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/transportation/fl-reg-brightline-stations-redevelopment-20180703-story.html]this article[/URL] : [QUOTE]Brightline’s train stations are luring new development and other amenities into South Florida’s downtowns. New offices and hundreds of apartments will open this year near the stations in Miami and West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale officials expect a similar project across 7 acres in their city, too. [/QUOTE]High(er) speed rail won't solve everyone's mobility problems, but with the right changes in local land use patterns, a lot of people can make their job commutes faster, business trips more convenient and vacations easier. Brightline has been spurring localized development around its stations and creating neighborhoods that support work and livability without the need for long auto commutes. What a surprise! Maybe there is a future for high(er) speed rail in North America. [/QB][/QUOTE]
