And the concern over noise pollution is mostly BS; there's a reason why it's called *light* rail. A single car would probably make as much (or more) noise than the train.

I'm unaware of any tracks being laid down through areas with vegetation. It's all surface streets I assume. Even still, it takes cars off the road and light rail has no emissions.
