Do you honestly believe that timeline for a second? This is Villaraigosa's "baby" and legacy we're talking about here. It's also the top candidate for FTA New Starts funding. If we had all the funding, then we could complete the entire project in 6 or so years -- 2019 versus 2036. Tell that to Obama.
