ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

If the residents of Cambridge elect the same council next election (Mostly their joke of a Mayor), it is more than likely we are a Region with 2 different types of transit systems along the same spine.

And then they get to brag about how they are the council that actually cares about debt and spending while picking a worse product that doesn’t improve their own city

My sanity is truly fraying down here most days
Just be mentally prepared for it. The whole reason BRT is included in the business case is to appease the current Cambridge Council who seems to be as anti LRT as possible. The only reason this thing is moving along at all is because we have a Regional council who on the whole is generally pro-LRT. (Except the cambridge representatives) Phase 2 will more then likely be a major election issue.  

Nothing will be done on an east west leg until Cambridge gets theirs.
