Phase II of the BART expansion into downtown San Jose has been off to a rocky start , with delays + ever-increasing costs. As we wait for more information on the next hurdle the project will face, we asked our readers for their opinion.

The results were heavily in the “worried” camp.

54% were worried it will be delayed again, 16% were hopeful it will be completed on time (this time), and 5% were unsure. 25% shared their opinions, and they ranged from hopeful to skeptical. Here’s what you said:
- “If tunneling is so high, why not do an aerial ride down Santa Clara Street. I have voted for all tax increases, but not for new money for BART.”
- “Definitely need Bart to SJ/Santa Clara, but it should just be above ground.”
- “It’s necessary, but more bureaucracy.”
- “I think they should not do it and buy buses.”
- “I hope that it’s done in my lifetime.”
