Sacramento Regional Transit will celebrate 20 years of light rail service Friday with free rides on light rail all day, a concert by Mumbo Gumbo at 11th and L streets and interminable speeches from public officials at a press conference at Cathedral Square. (See RT's press release here.)
Here's a toast to the advances of the past 20 years. Happy birthday light rail. But what about the future? Look at this map:
I want to hear someone at Regional Transit talking about the next 20 years in ways that envision changing this map from pie-in-the-sky into real transit advances on the ground. Is it even possible to discuss such a future without being brushed off as being hopelessly naive?
