Post #168,816 by Steve Lowe 8/11/04 9:44:57 PM Reply	Re: Houston's 'Streetcar Named Disaster' When the light rail was first installed in Denver, there were quite a few accidents. I think it took a few crashes for people to learn to respect the thing. All in all, the light rail is much loved here, and is going through a major expansion right now, with another expansion to be on the ballot in November. -- Steve
