Spectacular 21st century stations also need finance plans. You asked me why I considered the original station important, and I expressed my opinion. I am not in love with the depot-moving concept, but I can live with it, so if my defense of the plan seems fairly shaky it's because it isn't my plan.

If you take serious issue with it, I'd suggest talking to the City Council, or at least with city staff. I do it all the time, with mixed responses, and they might be able to provide the dollars-and-cents data on how much it will cost compared with other potential plans. Better yet, I'd recommend coming to tonight's meeting at the depot tonight and expressing your opinion--Thomas Enterprises and the city are having an open house on the railyards project (6-8 PM, in the model room) and they are looking for public input.
