Nevermind VIA and the county pretty much pushing forward with light rail.
But I guess it pays to be cynical.

Widening 410, the Bandera interchange, and most the other various projects are long overdue. I was referencing the fact that the city is falling behind on projects such as 1604 and 281. 281 was scraped and 1604 may meet that fate. The houses have already been built and the people moved in... suburbia or not we can't just ignore it.
Light-rail is WAY overdue. It should have been passed last time. The "The Rim to Downtown" rail, if approved, will take at least 6 years before we can ride. Aside, it is just a way for The Rim to fill their hotels (proposed 5, + Talavera). Guests can stay out there cheaper and travel via light-rail to the Riverwalk, Alamo, etc. I support it... but it isn't nearly enough.
Come on SA, why are we always playing the catch-up game?
