I wonder if they wanted to go the sales tax route to justify spending money on transit. I would think the average highway user would cry foul if her gas tax money started going towards a streetcar instead of the highways she drives on. I'm also a little worried that this was the big shot for transit...

please show data that proves separated facilities are more dangerous. I worded that poorly, my mistake. That is just the opinion I've developed based upon using the different facilities.

It's not that I'm pro spending on one and anti on the other, I just find it interesting that the general tone of this board seems to be that all rail spending is efficient and all highway spending is worthless. I would think the cost per user on hig...

the difference is the voters were given a chance to vote for the streetcar. If I could play devil's advocate...would it be fair to say that driving through the interchange is a "vote" for the importance of the infrastructure? 230,000 drivers do so daily. So if you're going to compare fund...
