Standard Examiner Article - We ask what is the REAL cost?

The article entitled "Cost may make streetcar placement irrelevant" by Charles Trentelman is an excellent summary of where we are at with this whole streetcar process - and why we need your letters to the Editor!  The points are well laid out in this article:

1. Community and stakeholders agree 25th street is best route
2. The cost estimates on all routes are out of control (we believe this is due to largely to over-engineering)
3. There has clearly been no longterm community or regional transportation planning
4. UTA goes with the easiest thing to do rather than planning and going with the right thing to do for the community!

Here is a link to the article...
