and let's not forget that the transitway will be closed during the conversion to light rail... for an estimated 3 years!! And also the LRT will go nowhere... Tunney's Pasture??? Who cares, you'll end up with 250 buses at Tunney's to bring people where they live and no real plan to extend the rail until another 20 years??? Silly!! how is that more efficient??
Either LRT runs from Centrum to PLace D'Orleans from Day 1, or else it is a useless waste of money
