so stuuupid. lots of cities are working with light rail. check the goodspeeduptate.com for info.
all the 'greenies' should be very happy.
if you look back on dc history, light rail was adamant at the turn of the century.
why not bring it back with all the oil issues.
AND it's a quick way to get to hillman's strip club!
kidding.
it's a great idea. i just don't understand the retards from ohio that can't dig the value of light rail.
for f*ck's sake, it's a positive development.
seriously, are the bloggers on this blog that retarded?
i'm really surprised by some of the responses.
it's a good thing.
i know there are a bunch of people that bike, but, that ain't all of us.
bike galore!
it's about developing not a neighborhood, it's about making our little city better.
get with the program, or go back to one of those middle eastern states from whence you came.
i mean mid-america (inked is gonna slam me for this)
light rail has been vetted and accepted. it works.
it's very cool that our commisioners, etc., made it happen.
if i hear one more complaint, i'm gonna have to ask for a spanking.
i seriously don't get the retards that are opposed to the kind of transportation that was prevalent in dc when the population was less than half of what it is now.
I can't wait 'til it comes to H St!!!! I'm gonna get on at 13th and H and ride it down to Union Station and then I'm gonna...well, my destination is downtown...well gee, I guess I'll connect to the X2 and get downtown. But wait, now that'll double the time and price of the trip if I do that. Mmmm, guess I'll take the X2 straight there. Damn, and I was so excited for a minute there.
Come on, it'll definitely help the businesses get people in from the rest of town who aren't up for a cab fare or figuring out the X8/X2. That's going to be a positive effect, and worth the money. Plus, the H Street line is supposed to go pretty far across the Anacostia, so it will help the commutes of people who live past H and Benning.
Am I the only one who thought this was more of a done deal? Light rail will make H Street more of a destination. There are plenty of people who live in Metro-accessible communities that take the bus. When I lived in Van Ness and worked in Dupont, it made more sense for me to take the L1 bus than Metrorail, even though the Red Line stopped in both neighborhoods. Light rail needs to happen to advance the revitalization of our neighborhood.
"it's a great idea. i just don't understand the retards from ohio that can't dig the value of light rail."
Let me tell you....
I'm from Columbus, and you've just got to understand the Culture of the Car in that city. It's less that people don't understand the value of light rail, and more that they can't imagine life without a car. Hell, a local Columbus paper ran an article last year instructing people on the proper way to hail a freaking cab, for God's sake. The city/county leaders didn't understand what they were up against.
Continuing to vote against public transportation projects (as people in central Ohio consistently do) is like shooting yourself in the foot and then running it over with your car, but there you go.
