I agree with the Guest Commentary that exposes the shortcomings of the SMART train. Even with the advantages of a large population, flat terrain, existing stations and a terminus that serves a state-wide job center SMART is grossly underperforming.
In theses days of COVID-19, train and subway cars have been exposed as vectors for community spread of the virus.
People want personalized transportation. Our corridor offers the opportunity to accommodate solar, human and electric powered forms of micro-transit along with recreational benefits. Let’s rail bank the tracks and build a multi-purpose trail.
John Leopold has been a driving force in keeping the pipe dream alive for a fixed-rail system on our precious corridor. Millions have been spent maintaining 100-year-old tracks. He has promoted an expensive, substandard trail that is non-continuous or uniformly protected. It’s time for voters to decide the future of our transportation alternatives. Elect Manu Koenig for supervisor.
