The Central Subway: It's Gonna Be Terrific!

Good news! The FTA says that building a Central Subway would be a great idea. The FTA, whose local website hasn't been updated in about a year, evaluated project justification, mobilitiy improvements, and land use; and they gave the project a "medium-high" to "high" rating in those categories. They're also supposed to rate alternatives analysis and local financial commitment, but those criteria aren't mentioned in Muni's chipper press release.

Once category that doesn't appear to get much evaluating is the agency's competence to operate the subway once it's built. But that was never in doubt, was it?
