The federal government has awarded $7 million to study the local maglev, which has an estimated cost of $53 million per mile. But why are the "experts" using U.S. Geological Survey maps from April 1993â¢
The photographs are so outdated that entire neighborhoods are missing from the route paths. How can they make accurate route decisions on this $2.8 billion project without the proper tools?
Penn Township officials have proposed using existing available railroad corridors, but the maglev group does not want to consider them since they will jeopardize having a second run of 240 mph in addition to the run between the Pittsburgh International Airport and downtown Pittsburgh. The maglev group figures that if it proposes a system with two areas capable of 240 mph, it will beat out the competition in Baltimore.
When it comes to their concerns about the environmental impact of this project, their speed agenda taints their decision-making process with bias.
Considering the existing commute time from Greensburg to Pittsburgh, wouldn't 23 minutes be just as good as 20â¢
