Interesting.. Perhaps they need to talk to Metro and TriMet a little more.. Metro's already begun work on the Lake Oswego streetcar connection.. All these projects will starve regional transit funds for about a decade.. well over $2 billion for these three projects combined..
The Barbur Blvd. line will likely be one of the most expensive in the region's history. If I were Tigard, I wouldn't waste any money on this guy til the next president and transportation secretary are selected because we'll need people who support a huge increase in the federal New Starts program if we expect federal funds for another "mega-project" in the near term (next 10 years or so).
