That means west I-10 will stay the same for at least eight more years, congested, poor lighting, and heaven forbid if there's an accident in the downtown tunnel because that creates a prolonged standstill.

And the proposal doesn't go far enough. My Blue Line idea has it going all the way to Westgate. The West Valley in my system would also be served by the Orange Line, which would serve Downtown Glendale and Arrowhead Towne Center. At the website Talk Transportation, someone even suggested it should go further west to serve Sun City and Surprise.

Jesus now it seems like you are trolling with the amount of times you bring up the fantasy of red, blue, green lines. Why you post in every thread about it like it's in the works is very odd. Judging by other posters responses no one cares about this fantasy color line, or your freeway signs.

I can't see any of this happening in my remaining lifetime.

It's going to be a struggle just to get light rail operating west of 19th Avenue.

Not only is there a cost factor but there's plenty of opposition to increase taxes in order to fund transportation projects.
