Isn’t a turn-around (or whatever the term is) needed at the end of each line? I think the cost of building them, tearing them down again, rebuilding, would be costly. Not to mention, perpetual construction along Centre St., and you know how drivers get when construction slows down their commutes.

I have to give some kudos to places where when they want a new train line to be built, they just say “f it” to everybody and build it and not worry about infinite consultations with everyone and the squirrels.
