Great, let’s get this thing going! Long overdue. Just make sure the new lanes only have the HOV rules for rush hour times, otherwise it’s a waste.

I agree, HOV lane for rush hour times only. Now we just need the commuter rail. Street cars would be nice too, but I think I am dreaming there…

I agree as well. SBres, we are almost there. God how I wish the MTD would get rid of those massive pavement buckling 40’ 15 ton behemoth buses and put more electric trolleys on the streets. Nothing would suit our unique dense downtown core like having a great trolley system in place.
