Headline Pick for November 6: Grand
Plans for Rail in Denver Hit a Wall of Fiscal Realities: Voters
in 2004 approved a $4.7 billion, 122-mile rail project; costs are now
expected to be $7 billion. Most of the lines are still on the drawing
board...New research about the recession has also bolstered one of
transit’s central premises — that highway-driven sprawl
is bad for a city’s economic health. Recent studies at the
University of Utah, for example, concluded that foreclosure rates in
the Washington area were much lower in counties served by the Metro
rail system, compared with the next ring of counties farther out, and
that home prices in Phoenix had also fallen in direct proportion to
the distance from downtown. (New York Times). |
