[edit] 2007 section
What evidence is there that the Princeton campus expansion plans would force the relocation of the Dinky station? The linked article here implies that the station will be integrated into the new development. --Jfruh (talk) 18:34, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, integrated and moved almost 200 yards south of its current location - that much further from downtown. Read this Pmgg085 (talk) 00:21, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

- There's nothing in the article you cite saying that the Dinky's "very existence" is threatened, as the Wikipedia article says. I realize the Towntopics.com article's POV may be slanted towards the developers, but it implies that the planners believe the move will improve access to the station, while only saying that some community members and elected officials don't want it moved. Certainly there must be some kind of reliable source (no doubt a study by transit planners commissioned by the local government) that can give hard facts on the result of the move? Otherwise the quote just sounds like scaremongering. Certainly the Wikipedia article as it stands now doesn't reflect the consensus of the people behind the area's redevelopment (something I'm going to fix now). --Jfruh (talk) 15:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

- Actually, rereading the Towntopics article, I think the comments about "improved pedestrian flow" refer to the proposed arts district, not the station. Still, we should find actual studies about rail traffic before we leave this section as baldly stating that the move will threaten the Dinky's existence. --Jfruh (talk) 15:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
