It is time for a more in-depth thinking and planning for the future well being of this community.
The time has long past when the planners should have looked forward for future needs for a comprehensive public transportation system for the entire community. In my judgement it is a short sighted approach, to waste scarce pubic resources
on some thing that will benefit a very few and which will leave a great majority wanting for something that colud have a positive impact upon an entire region.
