Frank's Lament

Frank Wilson is hurt. Deeply hurt.

His relationship with the Feds is on the rocks. They think he can't build or run a rail line right.

So, he's taken to looking out the window, longingly...

Wilson said he was particularly perplexed by a sentence in Little's letter stating that Metro must demonstrate its technical capacity to build and operate a light rail line.

"Just look out my window," he said, nodding toward the Main Street rail line that his office overlooks. Wilson said the Main Street line, which opened in 2004, carries 45,000 riders daily, a volume it was not projected to reach until 2030.

If you look out Wilson's window and squint really hard, you can see the red light of the Downtown Transit Center's southbound Q Card reader.

Almost every time I'm there, it's either damaged or showing a date several weeks ago.

Have they fixed it yet?
