The value of a trolley
Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2007 5:39 pm
Seattle just completed a trolley line from Lake Union to downtown Seattle.
The distance of this route is 1.3 miles built at the cost of 53 million dollars.
3 buses can haul more passengers at a total cost of 1 one million. Since the trolley is in the street, traffic has been bottlenecked since startup of the trolley. One person walked the trolley line and rode the trolley back. The trolley beat his walking time by 2 minutes. The mayor said the street car is better because you can see the rails in the street. Therefore you will always know where the trolley will go.
The Mayors next project is a 203 million bike path.
2. Kansas City in planning a terminal for the Mexico to Canada highway.
This will be the biggest terminal and be paid for by the US. The terminal with grounds will be given to Mexico and become Mexican sovereign territory, a part of Mexico. The Mexican Government will control, monitor and check the cargo's coming into the US from Mexico. there will be no check points at the 3 countries borders in either direction.
The treaty says the highway will be 10 football fields wide, 10 lanes, 6 for cars 4 for trucks. It will include a railway down the center and have a place for pipelines. Of course the US will pay for this highway as well.
3. There is a bill in our legislator to give control of US waterways to the UN. The UN will take control of our naval forces that now police the rivers, lakes and coastlines. Apparently the UN is already doing this for other nations.
We called our legislators in Washington DC and we were told they would be too busy to debate this until after the New Year. Our Democratic leaders seemed to see no problem with this bill. The Republicans seemed more reserved like they wanted to test the waters first.
Question, Why are we being bled? Are we being set up for an economic take over. If we resist I understand 3 new huge prisons are being built in the state of Arizona. Is that true AZ?
