Gee, if you think that walking the 700 metres or so to interconnect
with a train is "convenient" I doubt many other people will.

Estimated utilization <5% 


The whole light rail thing is a JOKE - it would never have been
thought of if they hadn;t wanted to find a way to spend the $65M grant
from the feds.

Will it improve the traffic situation through town/ the valley - NO

They keep talking about MODERN system - what about a MONORAIL for
god's sake!
