Do they teach them that in planning school. <br /> <br />In the same vein, worked on the Sunset Station project (SAS) back during the AlamoDome days. The planners and Alamodome engineers (THIS IS TRUE!!!!) had told the city fathers that the railroad issues were easily solved--they'd just jog the SP transcontinental main over a block to get it around the parking lot. <br /> <br />Got ahold of today's Austin paper, where the front page illustration shows a genius planner's idea of a conventional commuter rail operation across downtown (never mind the grade crossings every block!) on 4th St, JOGGING OVER ONE BLOCK ON SAN ANTONIO to 3rd, and then to the old power plant to the east of the Colorado Bridge. Wouldn't ya love to see the cars they intend to run on that???? <br /> <br />These are the same brilliant minds that think M-K-T means "MoKan"[banghead][banghead][banghead][banghead]
