Let me get this straight:
Triangle political leaders called for a fresh look after the Triangle Transit Authority’s 28-mile rail project was shelved in 2006 after 11 years of planning. Federal regulators said the $810 million Raleigh-to-Durham line would not serve enough riders to warrant the taxpayers’ heavy investment. Local political and financial support for the TTA project was weak.
So what does the “citizens advisory group” do? Double the length, double the cost and set an overly ambitious timetable.
Yeah, I’d say that’s definitely a fresh look.
