Build the system, and the people will come to it. If you want to make it happen faster, stop all road projects and focus solely on transit. Stop approving building permits for 2000 home neighborhoods 15-20 miles from city center off a two lane road. Instead, approve dense housing development along your new rail corridor.
We just got news of yet another development in what used to be the rural area surrounding our small farm...8,000 new homes! and I guarantee they have not made any allowances for increasing the road infrastructure. Just what I want to have to deal with 15,000 frustrated motorists trying to get somewhere on narrow two lane no shouldered roads
We have seen over 5,000 homes go in neighborhoods within a 5 mile radius of us in just the past 5 years.
