Or to put it another way...much much too late to deal with climate change.
We surely won't be done with climate change issues by 2032.
Maybe by the time they build it, they can figure out how to do an embedded track with less concrete (which generates massive CO2).
How amazing would it be if they prioritized a green track for the route into Cambridge? I've seen pictures of trams in Europe where there is grass growing underneath the trains, and it just looks like two rails cutting through a bit of green space. So much nicer-looking that an endless concrete pad.
