  Hello All! If you haven't looked yet, check out the Port Authority's
website. I don't have the URL in front of me but I'll look it up if
anyone wishes. 
  I've been following the construction via the website since the beginning. One thing that's really pleasing to my eyes is the catenary.
Single wood poles in the center of the double trackage. Alot nicer than
the ugly monstrosity of Stage I. The retaining walls in my opinion are
an eyesore, but necessary. 
  I wonder how long it will take the people who live along the PRW of 
Stage I to complain. Makes me wonder why they didn't do it right the first time. 
 PAT's fictitious reply to the complainers: "We'd be more than happy to
change the catenary if you all pull your funds and come up with the
millions of dollars it would take". 
 I'd certainly complain too if I lived somewhere in Bethel Park and had
to look at the ugly sight in my back yard. 
  Just my opinion fellas! :>)
