Rob Schofield closes his latest screed about transportation in the Triangle with some fantasyland thinking:
Happily, the group is not without promising models close to home. Just this week, Charlotte unveiled its new light rail system to rave reviews. While the system will undoubtedly suffer growing pains, it was clear from the enthusiastic response of Queen City residents that North Carolinians hunger for new and modern approaches. Any committee that calls itself the 21st Century Transportation Committee ought to take at least some steps to tap into that hunger.
Rave reviews? How about customers for rave reviews? But it really doesn’t matter if they meet their targets, Charlotte’s still got some ‘splaining to do.
