In her letter, "Who is moving to Baltimore? Potential Red Line passengers" (Jan. 16), Nina Therese Kasniunas offers the right concept but the wrong location. In order to serve the demographic that is moving to the city, the only part of the Red Line that fits her reasoning is that part east of downtown. In order to serve the new residents and attract more, we need lines into and out of Locust Point, Federal Hill and all the way up and down Charles Street to the universities.
I would build European-style street cars and reconfigure streets to allow them priority. I would not build another light rail based on the present model. One of the drawbacks to the present model is that very few riders pay and no one enforces payment, similar to many of our MTA buses. We are losing money on these kinds of systems.
