Experimenting to improve the Planned construction methods table.
[edit] nested tables
Maybe a table-of-tables with each inner table being a single column-pair? That way the wiki source contains the whole list in order instead of interleaved across each table row...easier to adjust where the column sets break/flow.

[edit] column flow breaks
Might be nice to have each column-set with parallel numbering (124|94|64|34 instead of 124|96|68|40)...easier to find a given number? Would mean last column-set is shorter than the rest.
[edit] Construction Method labels
Probably better to have an abbreviation for each instead of sometimes "TBM" but other times "Mined with Cut and Cover". Long strings make it hard to have a consistent table-layout spacing and/or hard to have a table look good on different screen sizes. Put a mini-table at the end as a key, with each color, the abbreviation, and what it represents (maybe with a wikilink to something relevant).
[edit] "draw" streets, method between them
Looks strange to have a list 124-125, 123-124, 122-123, etc. Wonder if we can have the first column listing just a cross-street and the second align the construction method between cross-street cells?

[edit] Good ideas
I can change the table to fit those suggestions. I'll put it in the talk page by 2006-12-01 17:00 UTC (about 1/3 chance that I might have to wait until Monday, though.) - CoolGuy 01:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
