I think it's a bad idea! I don't think many people will use it ya know? Plus it will be sooo long before it is all done. I heard only the first stage of the light rail would be done in 7 years, which is ridiculous. Plus, the roads would be sooo torn up and there would be a $h*t load of construction going on for many, many years. I personally, don't have a problem with the traffic too much, just avoid the 5 o'clock traffic and it's cool although if you know the back ways, you are at an advantage! I've seen worse traffic than austin rush hours traffic... (in houston)! More Light rail opinions.. sPit iT OuT girlies/guys!

i have a lot of family in dallas that i visit often and there is a light rail there. as a matter of fact, i have a relative that is an electrical engineer who did the designing for 3 (2 that are built and one in the construction phase) of the light rail stations. trust me when i say, the light rails are a wonderful thing!! like i said, i visit often (those are my favorite relatives), so if you know anything about dallas, you know how wonderful it is to get from the west end to park avenue in 15 minutes!! it doesn't really hinder traffic during construction (for i saw the fruits of my kinfolx labor as it was ripening), it creates a lot of jobs, and, once it's built, you'll think "why didn't we get one sooner?"
