text: i have already written telling Laura Thielen how disappointed I was.  She hasn't responded but her mother did.   I haven't had time to really respond to her.  She wants to put rail at ground level.  I think this will slow the system down big time.  Part of the reason they wanted to put it up was so that the trains can go faster, no one to run over.  At ground level it is just a matter of time before there is a collision between a train and a pedestrian or bus full of crippled children.  I remember the city showing old footage of the interaction between street cars, pedestrians and automobiles.  Kinda funny unless you are hit.
