Wonderful. Funny that we never talk about revenue streams and target markets with highway projects.

One thing that does bug me about the latest proposal is the jog down High St. and the inefficiencies that might create. Which city bought used rolling stock and created their system off of existing tracks? If I remember correctly, that kept total cost way down for their starter lines. I’d almost like to see that done here. Instead of 1 line, maybe we start with 3 for that 900 million.

There is a new anti-streetcar letter in today's Dispatch for people to stew over... Anti-street car letter This comes on the tail of last week's pro-streetcar letter. Pro-streetcar letter Just an FYI, I guess.

There are other topics on CU? As some of my office mates have warned me… I may be too close to this…
