You rarely talk about expected income versus capital cost plus operating expense - what will is the expansion of the light rail really expected to cost taxpayers of Mecklenburg County.
For that matter, there should be hard numbers for the existing light rail - including capital cost and operating expense how much do taxpayers of Mecklenburg County pay.
Thinking of where to put the end of line station. Is there a large open area in the north with low current usage? Instead of putting the last stop in a town, put it in a field and build parking and retail around it (with office park to come).
Can they restrict the parking lots for transit stops to Mecklenburg residents? For example, Davidson residents would get a sticker on their car allowing them to park & ride, whereas Iredell folks do not get a sticker. Might this encourage the Iredell commissioners to build their own stop?

Oh, I have not heard that idea. Let me see if I can find out.
