I mean, I think you can throw in a few extra years for COVID, that kinda blew up everyone's plans generally.

But it would be nice if it was actually on someone's radar, you know, being planned or something. Honestly, it's a little depressing how little discussion there has been of expansion/continued development.

Let's say two or two and a half years. Given that amount of grace, it's still overdue. 

I ride it almost every day, though, at slightly different times. I can say that ridership is generally very healthy, and in the last year there are times of day in which crowding does happen. It is disappointing that there are not plans in place to improve service: current riders would benefit, but ridership would also increase.
