I finished this video back in January, so that I'd have something to fill the gap if I ever had to spend a lot of time away from video creation. Well, thanks to complications with the WE Connect Study (see previous video) that day is come. Thank you to everyone who helped research and narrate this story!
The story about extending TRAX light rail to the airport twice is one that I think can teach us a lot about transit and planning trade-offs, but one that can also give us hope for the future.
