Today I was at local MPO or Metropolitin Planning Organization that determins were the bucks will be spent. This is for a Midwest City in Ohio. They told me that even though we have 2,000,000 People in our Metro Area that we do not have the Population density to support Commuter Rail[?]. But Boston has 2.5 million Metro and Baltimore has about 1.9 Million and they have Commuter rail. <br />They were willing to spend 22,000,000 a mile to put in a extra lane of freeway but not spend the money on Commuter rail...So What kind of POP density do we need? Do we wain till the Urban Sprawl gets so bad that we cant breath anymore[B)][}:)][:p][V]
