The Oakland Airport tram line project, which recently lost out on $70M in federal stimulus money, is moving forward regardless via a new creative funding plan that makes up for the $70M in various ways. The BART Board voted 8 to 1 for the plan, with SF's director Tom Radulovich the sole dissenter. "I am really concerned by the risk to the general fund," he said, and another director called the financing plan "a gross underestimate and a rosy projection." [SF Gate]
