Roy, Do you have answers to the other questions I asked about?--recommendation for building roads/freeways? costs?  I need help in understanding the basis of your support for rail.  I want less traffic.  Are you willing to risk so much of our city's financial future on rail?  Thank you for referring me to the EIS.  I am reading pg. 1251 of the EIS in which Transportation Director Wayne Yoshioka wrote "traffic congestion will be worse in the future with rail than what it is today without rail"  Is there another part of EIS that clarifies this statement?  The quotation you cite by Slater is not the full answer.  Slater agreed that building rail will result in traffic congestion being 21% worse in 2030 and that if we did not build rail traffic congestion would be 23% worse.  To me this does not seem a proper expenditure of our tax dollars.  Is this the best we could do.  What happens if ridership of the rail does not reach the administration's projected levels?  Does this concern you?
