Sean BHMike,
I know you didn't name any political parties but to put the blame of the collapse on building a train? Come on. The government wastes a lot more money in other areas...we all know that. I agree with Bryan that putting a train line down University Ave from St. Paul to Minneapolis is a waste of money and will destroy many of the businesses that are there.
I take offence when you call all the riders as "homeless, and indigent;" stop listening to Joe Soucheray (whom I'm sure has never been on it either). I'm sure you have never been on it...when you do (which I hope you try; the stop at Minnehaha Falls (50th St) has a beautiful city park) you can make your judgment then.
I'm glad your son is okay, I have a friend who travels that stretch every day and he just had to wait in the traffic mess behind it.
