He means dedicated bus lane not open to other traffic
you wouldn't be able to drive in the same lane as the streetcar? 
I don't think you're understanding. When clams says there "is no full-time bus lane", he's referring to a dedicated lane that only busses can use. It's not a very good point, but I would be fine giving busses/streetcar dedicated lanes on Main where there is space.
I pretty much only drive on main on Saturday/Sunday afternoons, so maybe it gets more congested than I think, but adding a streetcar seems like a pretty damn minor addition to the traffic
do you think it would be easier for Main (3 lanes) or Troost (2 lanes) to handle a streetcar?
troost, how is that not obvious to you? oh i get it, because you're doing your best to support an indefensible position
indefensible? you're being intellectually dishonest
"2>3" -clams
there's less traffic on troost which which would make it easier for the street to "handle the streetcar" to use your terms
it's insane that anyone would support handicapping the main corridor of our city by using the false pretense of "development" to deploy toy trains who move 100 feet at a time before loading/unloading olathe residents between CVS and UMKC
why would the stops be any more frequent than the current MAX stops? idk where you are getting 100 feet.
you brought up congestion. there are parts of troost (the brand new stretch north of 27th) that it is only ONE lane N/S. my point is Main already has a bus lane each way, 2 "normal" lanes each way, plus <sometimes> a left turn lane. the only difference between right now and if there were a streetcar is people would not be allowed to park on Main. this would (if anything) help congestion, since there would not be any parked cars in the way of traffic, although iirc you can only park on Main nights/weekends, so rush hour would be unaffected. nobody drives in the bus lane during rush hour. canco because i ride the MAX to work currently.
