Also, I watched some SFGovTV tonight. Yes, pretty dry stuff, but I found the meetings on the Third Street Light Rail, Transbay Terminal Project, and Financing for the Caltrain Electrification Project rather fascinating.

Points of interest:
* The Board of supervisors insists on a Jan 1, 2007 revenue date for the third street light rail

* CalTrain is willing to do what ever accommodations are required to integrate into the new Transbay Terminal, even arrogantly implying they’ll be done first anyhow (no doubt they will, talk about having your shit together)

* The Electrified Caltrain trains and tracks will have an estimated operating life time of 100 years!
