GoTriangle, the regional bus and transportation planning agency, recently released a report that details where the future light rail system will go, where they will stop and why, though much is still to be worked out in terms of funding, politics and engineering of the project. Durham and Orange counties are partnering on the development of 17-mile, 17-station light rail line. The report won’t settle all the arguments about the $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion project for some residents in southwest Durham and east Durham. You can read it and comment online at ourtransitfuture.com, and ask questions and offer your views at public meetings and hearings scheduled during the coming five weeks.
