Ryan points out that our fast growing, Forbes award winning, highly educated hometown is pulling up the rear when it comes to light rail. If I remember correctly, however, we had a pretty aggressive light rail plan that was pulled because the Federal Transit Administration let us know that we probably weren’t going to meet their estimates for minimum ridership. This was of course right before gas went to $4 a gallon, ridership on light rail exploded and a stimulus package came through looking to fund anything shovel ready. Timing can be well, unfortunate.

- @Kevin_Hartford you're either naive or not arguing in good faith to pretend u don't understand the implications of loaded Q. So I'm done 5 hours ago
- @Kevin_Hartford if you wanna walk that back then good, but stop making that awful implication to others. Dont just pretend u weren't 5 hours ago
- @Kevin_Hartford also, when I accused u of saying only soldiers can speak u said "perhaps if more of our citizens served...". so yeah, u did 5 hours ago
