    I realize that my personal preference for an elevated line [[which isn't happening) is based on experience here in NYC. I do not have any experience with light rail as is proposed, and I hope does become a reality. My thoughts on this is that long-term a subway is preferable to a light-rail system. It was mentioned that in Manhattan there are no elevated lines [[untrue also, as the 1 train is elevated at 125th St. and again once it gets up to Inwood.) Manhattan doesn't have at-grade crossings. I'm happy to see something getting done, but I'd prefer to see something that is seen as a first step, with more to come. I fear this will be yet another flawed project that is designed to fail or impede further progress.

    Hopefully this will connect with free transfers to the People Mover [[and that can be renamed to something more proper and descriptive such as "The Downtown Loop") and be successful enough that more lines will be build to feed this main artery. I just want this to succeed.
