Proponents tout faster commutes, cleaner air, and billions in economic returns, but past attempts have stalled due to sky-high costs, environmental pushback, and political indifference.

The developer stays optimistic, but securing funding and approvals remains a monumental hurdle — with the governor’s office open to future talks if the plan matures.
