ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
(02-28-2024, 10:02 AM)SF22 Wrote: "If approved, Phase 2 construction could start in 2032 and would likely take five or six years." So looking at 2037/38 as our best-case scenario, which is EIGHTEEN YEARS after the completion of Phase 1 (June 2019). Was there ever any indication that it would take so long? If they are serious about doing a Phase 3, I sincerely hope that we get started on the proposals long before Phase 2 is underway.

An opening a near 2 decades after the completion of the first LRT Line is absurd. Goes to show how truly awful public projects are in this part of the world.

They could have built it all in one go, having it terminate at Fairway yet continued the construction process to Cambridge and not only be nearly finished by now, but would have spent billions less than it has been projected to cost due to rising construction costs and inflation.
