From today’s paper:

U.S. High-Speed Rail Draws Local Interest

Capital Budget of $132.5 M Proposed

Both the high-speed rail and the regional transit projects are simply a dream at this point, but it is encouraging to see that they are being considered somewhat seriously by some folks.

And on the subject of alternative transportation, I officially “retired my ride” this week. I guess that means the Great Car-Free Experiment has now drawn to a close. Thanks for playing along.
