University line update (and much more)
October 18th, 2007
The Metropolitan Transit Authority board voted today on a Richmond-Wheeler route for its controversial University light rail line. But that was almost an anticlimax: It also voted to put light rail — not Bus Rapid Transit — on all five planned lines.
“We now feel we can pass federal muster (to obtain 50 percent funding) by going to light rail on all five lines at once,” board chairman David Wolff said. “We can’t help but believe that people will be thrilled by it.”
Today’s news is equally welcome and surprising. Mas, y mas.
