Rail Map Porn: Measure R Projects

For you TPP people and transit geeks out there, here's a high-quality, unofficial map of LA County rail after the projects funded by Measure R are finished, courtesy of San Francisco Cityscape.  The sight of light rail to the Inland Empire is cringe-inducing when you think of how much money Metro is blowing on it (if there's a reason for the continued existence of the Bus Riders' Union, it's projects like this), but this is nonetheless a pretty cool map.

The site is worth an extended look, by the way.  This guy has done a series of alternative transit maps that Metro Muni, BART and the CAHSR authority could all learn a lot from.  The articles, which deal mainly with Bay Area urban design but also dabble in SoCal and statewide issues, are equally high-quality and very interesting.
