is North OC waking up to scary traffic options too, aka trains?

11/3/07

In OCReg's Wed. Oct 31-07 'North' county section pg 4,
a teeny-tiny inking towards the bottom of the page,
under the heading Almanac, read this:

Improving Transportation

It stated - Brea, La Habra, Fullerton, Placentia and Yorba
Linda are looking to find ways to encourage residents
to TAKE THE TRAIN or bus and leave their cars at HOME
(my thought - cars at home? In the OC?, isn't that a
criminal offense? An anti-Red State notion. Commuter
trains are so BLUE state. Oh, that's right, we live in
a Blue-state. Hmm)?

Survey topics include: executive shuttles, wireless
internet, buses and providing MORE TRAIN SERVICE.
(my thought - but what about toll roads? Aren't they OC's
ultimate transit weapon?, not Trains. Besides, where
in North County does one catch a train - Disneyland?)

It went on to encourage residents (those in the survey area)
to go to their city's website and fill out a survey.

There was not one mention of toll roads or toll lanes -
or OCTA's rumored use of HOT lanes, aka freeway
HOV lanes requiring a toll-fare to enter.

What's most disturbing - the Survey area: the very same
OC region housing the likes of Supervisor's Campbell
and Norby - OC toll road's most supportive pals.

What's this Orange county going to - the Train?
Whodathunkit.
