Guided bus proposal gets a test ride with public

Larry Sandler, in the September 22, 2005 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports on hearings for the proposed Milwaukee Connector transit project.

Some kind of light rail or equivalent system might make sense if it connected the major destinations in the more densely populated parts of the metropolitan area with a few straight routes on separate right-of-way. This would be expensive and might require taking people's property to construct the new routes.

I note that, for hundreds of millions of dollars, the proposed routes of the Milwaukee Connector tram meander on city streets and don't even serve as big a geographic area as Milwaukee streetcars in 1892.
