It makes a lot more sense than Chastain's light rail plans. I'd really like to see the old RI right-of-way reborn, and make more use of the KCS line running east. But the price tag is really off the charts.

Currently Kansas City is pursuing commuter rail for the entire metro. What is the likeyhood of them recieving the federal money to make this happen & what are your views of the plan?

Here's an interview with the Jackson County MO County Executive Mike Sanders.
