Greater access to businesses, schools, and parks. Chance of lifetime. Could be a great tourist attraction. Another route for commuters to choose from. Improve living quality Dave suggestions Removal of the Train Tracks Chance of a lifetime. Could be a great tourist attraction. Improve living quality in those places.
