Studies are mostly expensive propaganda.
No realistic and affordable grade separation can be achieved with heavy freight FRA-AAR rules. A few years there was a study of an overpass in Sta. Rosa but that was quickly nixed. Of course no mention of freight gradient requirements being in play.
The only way for a solution to SMART's many conceptual shortcomings is with the focused attention of the insiders. And the way to get that attention is the baseball bat of a revoke vote on the sales tax.
So again it does not matter how many gripes there are in Marin about SMART - who is ready to front the cash to go up against Bosco?
