7. The progress of the study has been impeded for a number of reasons, most significantly due to the intricacies of the details required for the development of new transit systems.

These details take an inordinate amount of time and cover a wide range of issues.  There are questions of station operations power systems, signal systems, depot locations, etc, etc.

This takes tremendous effort for any single system; we are advancing no less that 4 different transit alternatives.  We are still far from that level of development.

The more important requirement is for the transit systems to be properly integrated into the communities they will serve.  That level of coordination takes even more effort and time and is absolutely necessary and appropriate in order to ensure the optimum system which works best for all interests.
