On the plus side, it would give them 4 years to fully plan this out and get it to shovel ready status.
It really makes me wish the northwest was its own country so we wouldn't be bothered with stuff like this and we could properly invest in our own infrastructure. On the plus side, it looks like the Tigard measure passed, so it will make it easier to get this built when the time comes.
I personally would love to see this SW line extended all the way to downtown Sherwood. Of course, I also think the westside should have about 5 different light rail lines running through it by now.
Also, for a side note, I am definitely jealous that Seattle is building a light rail subway system....it really makes me wish Portland would have done that instead. It would have really helped if we had that now, blocking trains wouldn't have been an issue (even though I fully support the protesting, having the rail system come to a crippling halt because of it just sucks.)
