As I opined many moons ago, this grand scheme to disrupt life in the Valley is running out of steam - actually, money. When all is said and done, we may see a new sign here or there.

What don't these people see? Simple, inexpensive, doable solution. Add an extra train track and run it from West Chester/Mason to the Airport. Along the route, take a house or three and put in a depot/parking lot. Remove 20,000 cars a day from I-75 and thus reduce pollution, wear and tear on cars, the need for gas. Not to mention, relieve stress and save lives and police time. 

I think the problem is that adding a RR track is too simple and won't give pols enough room to reward contributors with jobs. Not to mention, spending $500,000 per mile doesn't sound near as grand as spending a billion dollars a mile.
