Yeah, it always sucks because whenever there is some project in the works to fix the problem, it's always some half step like a bus trapped on a normal road, so we're back to square one after having blown millions of dollars.
Even worse, the city used to own a lot of riverfront area with rail infrastructure, but sold it off. That land has now since been developed into other stuff. So even if we wanted to rebuild what we used to have, we'd have to eminent domain and bulldoze a bunch of shit, making it way more expensive than it would be if the city just kept the land.
