Lexington leaders will visit other train depots around the state —-including Greensboro’s —- “to help them gain ideas about planning and designing a transportation hub in Lexington.”
They seem intent on making the project work, although — to quote another Triad leader —–where the money comes from is a whole other issue. Lexington plans on using a $700,000 federal grant for the planning phase, which of course runs the risk that the grant will be wasted money. Imagine that.
Coincidentally, Antiplanner passes passes along an ‘advertisement’ for the ‘Cape Fear Monorail.’ Listen to it carefully —it’s honestly hard to tell if it’s a parody, because so many in government and the media have said as much about so-called high-speed rail, but with a straight face.
