East Side rail proponents find transit study results lacking

Craig Lader, a senior planner at SRPA, said the agency understood East Side residents and business owners want a train station as soon as possible, but since this will take years, an interim plan makes sense.

"There are many reasons why a train station is not going to happen for a decade at best," Lader said.

"The community has made it clear they want something to take place as soon as possible, and we thought the bus would be the best way to introduce something on a near-term basis with all the political support that is needed."

If the interim transit plan helps bring more people and business to the East Side, it will help bolster a longer-term effort to promote a project to build a rail station that would likely face high costs and other expected hurdles.
