I certainly left a large amount of wiggle room there for the cost overruns. Short of a 50% cost overrun the LRT could be built for less than half a billion dollars. And what's with your sudden disrespect for studies? You hold the cost estimates for your precious Lackawanna Cutoff sacrosanct, but of course every other project that might compete for federal money is going to have a 200% cost overrun.Further, SI is a part of NYC where no light rail has operated for well over sixty years. Light rail is not coming back to any part of NY. Somewhere, possibly echoing through the vacuum that is his head, is undoubtedly a statement from some California auto lobbiest who likely said the same damn thing about LA in 1980. Whoops, times change, systems change, and people evolve. Or you can just be a foamer and be left pining for the 'good old days'. |
