I agree that the Richmond/Byron alignment deserves serious consideration, and its costs and benefits should be fully assessed. But is there or will there be grassroots and political support for this option? I have not seen Carlingwood and Ambleside residents pushing for it even though they would be the main beneficiaries. Do you expect Cullen to eventually reverse himself and support it?
