Quote:I don't think it is a stretch to say more than one fortune, as well as at least one political career, was made on the Skyway project.

And all for what?  A train that doesn't go anywhere anyone is interested in being?  Tax dollars well spent. 

 

The original plan should have taken into account the sports complex.  It didn't, and now that's off the table.  They're not going to expand that service beyond what it is today.  I think they've got sufficient transport options to get fans to and from the stadium without having to spend a billion on rail and new garages.  Like I said earlier, we don't have a parking problem.  And compared to other cities, we don't have a logistical problem in getting people to and from the stadium efficiently.  I think that, for a stadium in the downtown area, we probably have one of the more accessible facilities in the league.  If we ever build a new stadium, and it's city funded, it should go in the same general vicinity to where it resides currently.
