Set to run on an aerial track along the Capitol Expressway, the 2.4-mile extension

construction is expected to begin in 2020, with service beginning about five years later.

The project is expected to cost a little more than $450 million

And according to the latest environmental impact report, which the board certified, ridership is expected to be relatively low — just 4,534 boardings in 2043.


5 years to build just 2.4 miles

$200 million per mile

Low average daily ridership for a light rail line

Another great investment and brilliant decision making by politicians. How many years until it is closed?
