"You can work while you're on the train. &nbsp;It helps promote inclusivity. &nbsp;It can help promote equity with access to higher paying jobs in metropolitan areas, providing access not only just for businesses and employees, but also tourism, recreation, commerce."Solberg said they don't know the cost of the project yet because it depends on the number of stops and that train stations cost money to build.But, they would save money by using already existing tracks owned by the Union Pacific Railroad.The council will have a public discussion on the resolution Monday night at 7 p.m. Click/tap on this to virtually attend the meeting.
