ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
#32
Host said, of phase 1, "expected to start service in late 2018"

Galloway said, of phase 1, "starting in early 2018"

Galloway expects full funding from feds/province (but council hasn't taken a position that it's that way or the highway).

Reminded people that moving people is a key part of ION, but that redevelopment incentivization and as a planning tool is the prime factor, which gets the biggest points in rating route options.

Hinted that announcement coming soon regarding delivery of the first train.

Post-Galloway callers:
"But no one will ride it!"
"That's still our money, and this would be a wasteful gamble!"
"Are we Beverly St residents going to be expropriated?"
