The Strike Is Over! Kind of.

DeCamp says it has reached an agreement with the drivers' union for something called "a cooling-off period." As opposed to the cooling-off period of nine or 10 days when no one was working and there was no service, I suppose. And in addition to a pre-cooling-off period of Monday and Tuesday, as under the terms of this agreement drivers will not return to work until Wednesday, September 15. (Paging Frank Luntz! We need a euphemism transplant, stat!)

This is good news. However: still no word of a contract.

Needless to say, a cooling off period is not a settlement. Rather, they will probably go back to the table. If they still do not reach agreement - who knows what will happen. The drivers should have held out. This technique is for pussies.

It's so nice to have you do all of the research for us. It makes our decision making so much easier!! Thanks.

Point well taken. But then again, I don't think they should run much transit in mixed traffic at all--that is, if there's any traffic to speak of.

But, I could see some situations where giving the streetcar dedicated right of way could happen in the future, just like creating a bus lane. At least streetcar is cheaper than heavier rail to alter and expand, and even a short, bad stretch only popular among yuppies and tourists (read: Portland) can be the beginning of a network that gets better over time. But, I really have no hope for the U.S. until I see Rasengleise ;D

Thanks for sharing your article. I really enjoyed it. I put a link to my site to here so other people can read it. My readers have about the same interets.
