Garry P. Smith, what is sad is that westsiders will need to wait at least SEVEN years for rail (if completed and on-time).  Seven years tormented by traffic congestion everyday and to their shock, rail did not relieve traffic.  Then they realize that rail was all about jobs for the construction industry and developers.  Too late to revolt against the high annual operating cost.  Too late to complain.  Too late to do anything.  How sad, for all of us.
