Ah, well, as for planning in advance, you bet! Heck, take a peek at how long most of these highway projects took to build, from first concept through all the amazing red tape... etc.... <br /> <br />It could take a decade on the planning stages alone- heck, we're undergoing a commuter rail project in Washington County, and it started back in 95 or so. Only now do we have FRA approval, and now funding is stalling it. It is estimated for construction to begin in 2003 or 4 with opening in 05, and even that isn't likely in my view. And that's for a piddly 15 mile commuter rail project! <br /> <br />So we need a master plan for what we're building towards, AND an interim plan to rachet up slowly towards that goal. <br /> <br />Later, Alexander
