Local Transit Problem prt. 2

A transit issue will not only cause businesses to lose money but can cause

businesses to move in or even keep prospective home buyers from settling in. I

believe investment in a cities transit is worth every dollar because in the long run

more dollars will be made than spent. I believe that the city needs to either build

an east/west freeway or turn one or two of the busiest  thoroughfares into a

"parkway" type of highway where service drives connect to the businesses while

the main part of the highway allows traffic to flow easier by the way of

overpasses or develop an lrt(light rail transit) system to connect the airport to

downtown.

Here is a simulation of what a light rail train(lrt) might look like and function.
