It's too bad the council would not permit public input on the process leading to a decision on the route alignment through Irvine. The majority claim it's too early to inform or involve the public. It is currently projected to be dual rail and elevated within 50 feet of Irvine homes. The Orange County grand jury has examined this proposal and points to the lack of debate on the real merits of light rail. Maybe that's because there is very little positive supporting evidence that these projects are anything more than costly and inefficient boondoggles.
