That's not to say that the old arguments don't apply, they do, but the past dictates the future and transportation is the number one ingredient of a robust economy. Since we can't get what we want then I want what we can afford, and the bridge design chosen is workable and not extravagant in any way.<br /><br />The other $2 billion in "improvements" are still open to debate but the ~$1 billion bridge passes muster. Light rail will live or die at the 2012 maintenance vote, assuming Jim Moeller lives up to his promise.<br /><br />Fighting this project one piece at a time (bridge, improvements, light rail) could be very beneficial - maybe not ideal but a workable compromise.Martin Hashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319289178270392132noreply@blogger.com
