[edit] Title?

It doesn't make any sense to me to use this title if that's not the current name of the lines. I can see the logic of combining both into a single article, I suppose, though perhaps it would make more sense to either put all the RTA light rail into one article (i.e. integrate the Waterfront Line material here) or separate the blue and green lines into different articles. --Jfruh 03:48, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

So, I'm thinking that I'm going to do what I've said above, since nobody seems to object. My proposal is to merge together this page and material on the Waterfront Line page into a signle page called "Blue and Green Lines (Cleveland)". I'll do this sometime next week if nobody objects. --Jfruh (talk) 13:37, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe the better title is "Light Rail Lines, Cleveland." This is because, although operationally, the Waterfront Line is an extension of the Blue & Green lines (and RTA acknowledges this in its literature), it still designates the Waterfront Line as an entity in itself, ... for the obvious reason that it wants to give it a higher profile by naming it its destination. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.197.170.126 (talk • contribs)

Well, the only problem with that is that it wouldn't be in parrallel with the naming of the Red Line (Cleveland) page. NYC railfans tend to make a distinction between services (which are the named routes that trains take) and lines (which are physical pieces of trains infrastructure). Thus, the Blue and Green Lines in Cleveland are services, part of whose route covers the Waterfront Line, which is a line, if that makes sense. Obviously the Waterfront Line should be given prominent attention and named as such in any combined article, but it makes sense to me name them by their services. Either that or rename the Red Line page "Heavy Rail, Cleveland" or some such. --Jfruh (talk) 20:55, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

JFruh - your renaming suggestion to retitle this article "Green and Blue Lines (Cleveland)" and merge the Waterfront Line article into this one makes sense to me. Go for it. -- CHIP72 19:55, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree, the term Shaker Heights Rapid Transit denotes the archaic name of the line pre-GCRTA taking it over. This should be renamed into an article for the Blue, Green, and Waterfront Line just to clarify it for people who were not around during the time of pre-GCRTA. Cwmtos 12:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Since nobody seems to object, I'm going to make this move. --Jfruh (talk) 20:26, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

The Waterfront line should be treated as its own line because its was built seperatly from the Shaker Rapid and has a dedicated Brenda Car assinged to it
