In recent weeks we have all seen the media coverage regarding the proposed new "Rapid Transit" system. While in general I support the concept, I do have a concern about a portion of the plan.
All of us here in the Irvington area have, for the last two years, been working hard to raise funds for the "Irvington Street Scape" project. The first phase of that project is slated to start early next year. One of the features of the project is the creation of esplanades in the middle of Washington St. These are for both beauty and to slow down the traffic.
What I have a hard time understanding is where the newly proposed "Light Rail" line from Cumberland to the airport goes. Those proposing the system are saying it would run down Washington St. Does that mean it will go over or under the Street Scape esplanades?
