Crossing the T
By Lauri Apple, Fri., Nov. 9, 2001
Thomas called the central issue transportation. "The 'T' is still not clear with me," he said, explaining that no bus routes service the site. "You cannot have productive affordable housing if you don't have the whole package. Not everybody's going to have a vehicle." A convenient bus route existed, Thomas noted, when the project was formulated, "but ridership was real low, and for Cap Metro to put the route back out there would take maybe three years, if zoning is passed."
The project is scheduled for discussion and second reading Thursday, Nov. 8, although it may be delayed by other matters and post-election mayoral ceremonial foofaraw.
