Mr. Sapatoni; You are actually making partial sense, and I partially agree with you, which is scary. However, I believe part of the reason for the protracted time table is the same reason projects like the i-Way, the 6-10 viaduct project, etc.take so long is they are dependent on Federal money, where the State gets an allocation once a year. As you know, the project cost on such items is only partially funded by the State. We used a portion of our federal highway allocation over the life of the i-Way project while others were put on the back burner. Face facts, RIAC is in financial trouble now with increasing costs, capital projects, etc. while the passenger traffic has been in an almost straight line free fall for 6 years. Watch the bonds. It is counter intuitive to spend money on homes that ultimately will be razed, or found to be uninhabitable and sold privately or bought for 60 cents on the dollar. Typical RI, fire, aim, ready.

It takes a long time when you don't have the dough, or put another way, a deal is not a deal when you can't afford it.
