I hope commuter rail happens. It would be complementary to the BRT plan too.

I thought restoring the second track was part of the scope of the commuter rail proposal, actually. One could see how it would add benefit for this plan as well.
I don't like this idea as much as the creation of a depot outside of the city, but it is better than doing nothing.
I too am concerned about the effect to the traffic flow at the Fairview overpass, but perhaps the release of more details will relieve this concern. Time will tell, I suppose.
