Letter to the Editor: Not in Agreement With Kopp’s Public Transit Opinion

Noam Chomsky has astutely commented that America has always been a fear-based society. Nowhere is this more in evidence than in the illogical leaps of thought evident in Jen Nossokoff’s latest “commentary.”
From a Reader: Correspondence About Taraval Tracks at 46th Ave.
As you can imagine, I was less than delighted to see the NTK crew once again on lower Taraval, this time between 45th and 46th, pulling up and replacing tracks (some of which had already been replaced). According to the MTA website, this is the result of a “Requested Action” for additional $4.7 MILLION to “(e)xpand scope of work to include special track work on 46th Avenue and Taraval” which includes “replace(ing) curve, cross-over, and straight rail.”
