More Light Rail Trouble

There are some problems with cracks in the Light Rail line in the Mesa/Tempe segment. I will continue to wait and see how this whole thing works out. This project has been under the microscope so much that anything is going to be newsworthy. So honestly, I can't truly gauge if this is a big deal. I wonder if freeways turn up with cracks that get fixed without anyone saying a word. We need to at least think of alternatives, especially since Freeways are coming out at $40 million a mile!

I am neither a light rail advocate nor a light rail enemy. I have seen public transportation work in other places as long as people realize that its more of a public service than something that will probably ever pay for itself.
