Gosh, this sounds like an article disclaimer from the National Enquirer!!!!

Sounds like someone may be bitter that they're not as well-connected and well-informed as some of us are...

I'm not. I've also got friends in high places.

No wait. I've got high friends in places.

Bush is a Nazi

Osama is working at 7-11

Elvis got laid off and his job shipped to the middle east (see above)

Terry is a man, and K-Rat is his lover.

Hey, I'm just giving a verbal account of what I know.. don't blame me if you're not in the know, or don't have clearance for this information!

Wait, is Terry really a man, I don't really know? Terry, if you're willing to reveal your sources, can you please clarify?

mylo,

I am so bitter that you have such well-connected and well-informed sources, and I don't.

AHAHHAHAA... Given how much usefull information Terry has regurgitated upon the hungry mouths of this forum I find this statement hillarious!

I am female. And as for sources on this, you really will just have to take my word for it.

Doug, please knock it off. Let's all get back to the issue of light rail.

  Let's all get back to the issue of light rail.

I agree. Is there enough parking here for the users of light rail...??

So, yeah, where are the trains?

I see tracks.

I see stations.

But I don't see trains.

Are they still on track for Oct 15th? If not, the governator's gonna start crushing skulls!

I think the parking lots for the Sutter, Glenn, and Iron Point stations will hold quite a few vehicles. Also, Folsom's buses will provide feeder service to these light rail stations.

Ironically, I have a friend who would like to ride to work on Light Rail beginning at Bidwell, and getting off at the Auto Mall. Unfortunately, there's no stop at Bidwell and no stop at the Auto Mall. He'd have to drive to Glenn or Sutter, then get off at Hazel and walk back to the Auto Mall. Previous bus service wouldn't allow him to do this either. And they wonder why people don't take buses/light rail! I realize light rail is for longer commutes, but for those who really would like to use the service but have to drive as far to the station as they would (almost) to drive themselves where they want to go, why bother.

Does Light rail allow bicycles ? Would be nice for some if the station to home or station to work was a bit far to walk.
I personally wont be using it as I commute from Natoma Station to just before Hazel- all of 7 minutes on a good day.

I've yet to hear if these are allowed on Folsom streets or Light Rail.

This would make a sweet commute down to the LR station, then over the overpass to my office!

[benning]

Do you actually own one of those, Mylo?

Here's some info for bicycling...

I know a couple of people who live downtown and work in Fair Oaks. They take light rail to somewhere in Rancho, then ride the bike trail in to Fair Oaks.
