Hell, at 351 million dollars for the Light Rail alternative this is one of those projects I can't see why you wouldn't build this thing. This is right up there with SEPTA's Rt100 to King of Prussia, Boston's Green line extension, and LA's Expo line for no-brainer projects. Even allowing for considerable cost overruns the project could come in under a half billion dollars and carry a quite sizeable ridership. If 2800 passengers are sufficient to justify a 350 million dollar train to Scranton then aren't 13600 passengers sufficient to justify a 351 million dollar train to Arlington? |
