What planning?
The handful of insiders who put together this plan were never interested in any concerns but their own. Any call for electric light rail or grade separations were quickly chucked to the circular file.
They talked about an overpass in Sta. Rosa. That was quickly nixed - freight cannot handle ramps. San Rafael can do a lot if they are so moved. The mayor can hardline it too and start talking up a money measure for the flyover in short order. That would flush out Bosco right away.
The last thing to do would be a new transit center before the requisite grade separation at downtown San Rafael.
