Instead of offering our opinion, we’re gonna throw this one open to readers. What do you think about METRO’s $1.46 billion deal (and the gazillion jobs that METRO says it will create)?
Okay, we’ll offer one little bit of opinion — here’s hoping these projects turn out better than the Main Street line, with its fine record of collisions (with cars, people, and even wheelchairs), ongoing stray current problems and water art turned to eyesore (photo via Michael Berry). Because a lot of your money is at stake.
