For example, they're looking at putting in tram service from what used to be a campground on Hamburg Mountain to the top of one of the ski lifts at Mountain Creek and to Hidden Valley as well. That in itself should help reduce traffic. They're also putting in a main street business district, figuring out a new alternative plan for the old Legends Playboy mansion and redesignating some of the older commercial areas as redevelopment areas. They know that it's all about efficient and controlled growth instead of an explosion, which is a good thing.
The fact that they are looking at transit alternatives now is good. They just need to be steered into looking at the right transit alternatives. Hopefully if people read my letter, others will follow in favoring rail service.
