While I wish light rail would have passed..... it will. I am reminded of the non-built expressways Mopac (?) posted recently. Sometimes what seems like a good idea needs more time to perk..... I am sure when it finally happens (light rail...or whatever we will call it by then) it will be even better than what we turned down. Why? Because even more information and advancements will have taken place. Not how I planned it..... but I am sure that it will eventually happen ..... and probably benefit from the delay. It's just how things happen. Time will tell.....

The implementation of commuter rail precludes light rail from happening. In other words, for light rail to "finally happen", we first have to admit that commuter rail was a disaster; tear up all the old stations; tear up all the old track; and build new LRT-capable double-track and infrastructure like we would have done in 2000.
Y'all wonder why I have to keep posting this.
commuter rail is NOT, nor can it ever be, a step towards light rail; it is, in fact, about six steps the other direction.
