No, because while the Feds (thanks to Congressman
Sabo) have said they're willing to shell out a few
million of our tax dollars to help build the line,
they've been real quiet about helping to pay the
operating costs. I have no faith that the Hiawatha LRT
route will ever be anything but a black hole for
subdiy dollars, and even less that the Northstar
Corridor will be any different. If people in St.
Cloud want a nice, comfortable commute to downtown,
there are several houses for sale in this
neighborhood at very reasonable prices, close to
several MTC lines.
Millions for buses and bicycles, but not one
cent for commuter rail!
