project will also help foster the growth of transit-oriented development and extending the light rail will also keep the door open for consideration of future transit expansion. Some of the benefits of the expansion will include better transportation into the city, and provide a better energy source and better air quality and an increase in tourist attractions. The Commonwealth of Virginia 's Department of Rail & Public Transportation is studying possible extensions to The Tide in several different

One of the lessons that I have learned through my 4+ years of work experience as an EIT is that a good Engineer must always be aware of the real life system limitations of any project he/she is involved with. With experience, not only are you able to keep aware of these limitations, but you can also prepare for them. As Engineers, when we set out to design a product or system, we are working in a theoretical world with no limitations or constraints. However, out in the real world, there are numerous

Readjusting the Southwest Light Rail Extension: Strengthening Our Backbone The proposed Southwest Light Rail Extension presents a variety of problems.

Transit represents a little less than one-half of one percent of the Virginia Beach city operating budget. If light rail is built, only in its third year of operation will light rail and the associated inflation drive that number up to just about one-half of one percent. Virginia Beach, a resort city, is a suburban community with many environmental assets. There are green areas to the south that require protection. As the city is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay these require
