A serious and virtually fatal mistake HART made and continues to make is viewing the construction project as a transit project.  For trains are not running yet and what is going on is building of the rail infrastructure.

HART is making the very same mistake of thinking that rail infrastructure construction is a transit project in the news that "The parties also agreed to a review by transit experts to be completed by the end of the year"

Transit experts are unqualified to review, much more evaluate, the status of the rail infrastructure construction.  

Isn't  it clear to any of the HART board members that there are no trains running on the steel rails? 

Isn't it clear to any of the HART board members that what needs to be done now is construction of the 5-mile rail infrastructure.  

CONSTRUCTION - not Transit - EXPERTS are what HART needs to be involved in a review and/or evaluation of the project
