[quote=Anonymous]Why does it take the project coming to a halt for the city council to demand a true accounting of the costs and overruns. At this point we should have simply tunneled and put the metro underground, where by the way, it would not have needed to have anybody's house destroyed or greenlands paved over. A Montgomery County Council member reacted to the news. “This is very frustrating for those of us who have been Purple Line supporters for years,” said Council member Evan Glass, who sits on the council’s Transportation and Environment Committee. “During oversight hearings this past year, I’ve consistently raised my concern with the added delays and $300 million in projected cost overruns. My hope is that this transition will not add to an already lengthy construction schedule, but will provide a true accounting of the state of this project and its costs. Now is the time for the state to fully inform the public about the status and cost of this project.”[/quote]
