ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

Glad to hear it. Get Greyhound to move off Industrial and share the facilities and we'd be halfway there.

It wouldn't surprise me if half of the push to get rid of the dam at Riverside Park is to make room for another track. Assuming there's enough clearance under the wires for auto carriers, they could pull a Waterloo and use the CP track during the day, with the Preston station built on land made available by reducing the width of the Speed River there. I wouldn't want it to go through the park either; they'd live to regret it.

If they follow the old CP track to Speedsville and turn onto Eagle there, a station would still be a possibility. Whether they use the railbed or Eagle they're missing a big opportunity by not putting one at Speedsville. They should at least consider roughing one in for future growth.
