The article doe not say why the naysayers are against LRT. Maybe Evergreen can shed some light on the issue.
One prominent group, however favors it. Vancouver architects (Vancouver AIA) have long-supported LRT, especially the cross river connection to Tri-Met. They know that LRT brings economic development; hence, more business for architects.

They're against it for the usual reasons, mostly erroneous ones. Things like, "the criminals will ride it to steal my 52 inch plasma TV, it'll cost too much (even though trains are cheaper than buses), they fear something new, and so on.
Take care and take trains!

I am disappointed that the architects association (AIA Washington), long time proponents of LRT, has not jumped into this discussion to bolster the letter writer's Charlotte LRT experience.

A group of light-rail opponents who have been working for more than two years to petition the Vancouver City Council for a public vote on light rail enjoyed a short-lived victory this week, after City Attorney Ted Gathe said their latest effort had been successful.
By the next day, however, the petition had been ruled invalid by the county.
