Roy, will the current rail project reduce traffic congestion?  If so where can I find the estimate by the City?  The 7th paragraph following headline-Honest Way to Approach Rail--is only area I could find that discusses another approach to reducing traffic congestion and it says nothing about building more roads and freeways. Could you refer me to the paragraph that speaks about building more roads and freeways.  Once rail is completed how does the City expect to fund maintenance and operation of rail?  I live in Ewa Beach and so far I have not spoken to even one person who plans to use the rail on a daily basis.  I agree that Honolulu needs mass transit.  What makes the rail project we are building the best for those who live and work in Honolulu--I am looking for some positives about rail and how it is going to reduce the time I spend in traffic. Thanks.
