I disagree with this quite a bit. I'll be a regular user of the LRT in the winter months, and I want it as soon as possible. If the system is ready to go holding off for more months for aesthetic reasons makes no sense to me. Let's get this thing going so I and other users can benefit from it!
Also I like snow, I don't think that ruins it at all. Terribly snowy days are the best days to take advantage of transit. And December is usually often clear and bright.
I 100% agree with you. I live on the line, and I am planning to use the system every single day to go to work and home. I REALLY hope that things don't drag out and system launches as soon as possible, even if it's February 1st. In fact, I wish they would launch the system with trains at any frequency... even one every hour with the iXpress 200 running wouldn't be SO bad.
