Excellent and concise review of this ungainly process. We need to push to the governors original proposal. It was well thought out, organized and financed. Selling stops on the line for votes is ugly part of the process.

I do wish they’d leave more of the route/stop design up to the transportation engineering experts, rather than doling out based on political constituencies. That type of stuff is just begging for the whole thing to fail, which in turn would do those political constituencies no good.

Thanks for the breakdown! The process has become convoluted and difficult to keep up with, a case study on State government.

Sounds like a good deal to me. I’m glad to hear KRM will be happening! And what an asset to Bayview! Hopefully, this may spur more redevelopment of the area! And, less auto-dependent development!
