I understand what you are saying, however, the existing rail line follows so many residential areas, it seems it would be impossible to make it totally safe. The tracks cross many roads, homes, and are near schools. It seems like it would make more sense to have something follow along 405. Hi Joe,

Thanks for your comment. I understand what you are saying, however, the existing rail line follows so many residential areas, it seems it would be impossible to make it totally safe. The tracks cross many roads, homes, and are near schools. It seems like it would make more sense to have something follow along 405.

Meanwhile, if the people eventually decide that light rail is a real solution to traffic problems, it seems that using an existing rail system (or at least the land and right of ways that it's on) would make more financial sense that building a new one - which would also rip up existing neighborhoods. It would be nice to have both, but in my opinion, the number of people eventually served by rail would be much larger than those who might use additional trails.
