Right now, there is a shuttle that takes you to RTP and from there you ride out to Raleigh or Durham or wherever you go; IF you arrive during the day. At night, forget about it, you have to drive or catch a cab. A rail stop at the airport should come, but I think we should save it for version 2.0 and not the initial plan. I just don't think the airport is busy enough to justify it right now. Only employees would use the rail line a lot (which isn't much) and a handful of travelers. I could be wrong though. John, if I start the Oak City Podcast, you can be the first guest. I am hoping the airport gets more connectivity in the future.

Karl (Raleigh Boy) pointed out a pretty big shortcoming in transit plan - the lack of a rail stop at the airport. As it was explained to us by one of the planners, such a stop wouldn't benefit residents as much as it would visitors, so it was left out. Anyhow, I think you should definitely move forward with some sort of weekly radio address of your own. A State of the City Address, maybe? Congrats on this Leo. You made great points.

I think that you said it all and I agree with you. It is wise to plan our future neighborhoods with public transit - at least the possibility of it - in mind. Well designed urban areas can only better the image of our city and create more functional communities, built for humans, not just cars. Good work, Leo!!!
