Wow, Don! On time? Within budget? Man, where were your guys when we needed them up here? Phases 1 and 2 of Portland Tri Met's Max Light Rail went waaaaayyyyy over budget and was waaaaayyyyyy late. <br /> <br />The last extension, to the airport, was the best of the three. It stayed on target and on time and costs us very little- the Port of Portland traded land it owned for Bechtel to construct it. Still, we screwed up and didn't build any long term lots along it, but, <sigh>, we never get it right up here. And likely that we won't get another deal like that, as Bechtel's investment in that ex-port property was a dud. <br /> <br />Alexander
