As far as rerouting the trucks, sure that would be nice, but for the kinda $$$ we're talking about I think we can safely say there are much higher priorities.

Your concept only makes sense if transit is used to reasonably high capacity. This will not happen because MT runs a very poor service and people only use it as a last resort. I firmly oppose adding anything to the existing MT operation because it will be hijacked by the miserable ATU. Until we figure out a different way to run mass transit in this town, in a way that eliminates the ATU and the bus-only mindset of current MT management, your idea would be one of the biggest boondoggles in history.
