I'm guessing the $20M price tag for the CSX alignment doesn't count the cost of buying the land from CSX. Is there even any indication that they want to sell it, or if they do, that they can? The last time I talked to Gabe Klein about it, he said that CSX's position was that they might want to reactivate the line at some point. And I seem to recall a big to-do about the fact that CSX only owned easements, and that those easements might not be transferable to a transit line.

I think the CSX alignment is probably the best because it's cheap, doesn't impact traffic and will have no traffic to deal with - plus the original design included a parallel bike path, but I wonder what makes them think it's possible now - after claiming for years that it is not.
