Hello! I just thought I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d send you my attempt at making the NYC Ferry network a bit less intimidating to navigate. While many of the issues are with the network itself (the stopping patterns are absolutely bizarre), I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve always thought the 168澳洲十开奖网 made the network far harder to navigate than it should be. So here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s my attempt to fix that!

Like Evelyn, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve never really been a fan of the official NYC Ferries map: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s sloppily drawn and can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t decide if it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a Vignelli-style diagram or a geographic map. Eventually it fails at being either, with too much room being taken up just to show the trip all the way out to Rockaway that could be better used to expand the complex East River routings and some absurdly overly-detailed coastline in Jamaica Bay.
Evelyn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s solution is distinctly diagrammatic and just looks so much better. The bold line colors cased in black really pop out of the sombre blue and grey background and are easier to follow as result. Some slight tweaking of the official colours has been made, especially to the Soundview route, which is much lighter than the official dark purple. Perhaps this makes the Rockaway and Soundview colours a bit too similar, but some tinkering could fix that pretty easily.
Labelling is generally good, though perhaps I would have stacked the Pier 11/Wall St label just to keep it well away from the St. George route line. The Brookfield Place Terminal and Corlears Hook labels are the only other area of worry: it might be possible to slide Brookfield Place a little further to the left to get a bit more empty space between the two labels.
Of particular note is that even though this is a schematic diagram, Evelyn has implied the long haul out to Rockaway without having to take up huge amounts of empty space in doing so – great work!
AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 thing I personally don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t like on ferry maps is too many sharp curves – ferries don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t make tight 90-degree turns out on the water, but big, lazy arcs. So the section from Astoria to Roosevelt Island to Long Island City – a whole bunch of stacked 90-degree angles – bothers me on both versions of the map. I feel there has to be a solution that looks more naturalistic: maybe the route uses curves similar to those at the Brooklyn Navy Yard stop at Roosevelt Island, just to break up the rigidness of that part of the route?
Other things I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see: some sort of dash on the Governors Island (note that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no apostrophe in the name!) route line to immediately indicate its seasonal nature. The Staten Island Ferry – no, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not a NYC Ferry route, but it absolutely🔸澳洲幸运10预测 should be shown as an alternative for the travelling public. Finally, I believe that a route from Pier 11 to Coney Island will be launching before the end of the year, so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s be great to see a version that incorporates that.
🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Compact, bright, and more than a little bit fun. Really, really nice work!
