"It could be the region's best-kept secret: Transportation officials might build a 30-mile light-rail line through the heart of Orange County. In many places it would rise 40 feet above the street on concrete columns, casting shadows on sun-splashed streetscapes, bringing a new source of noise to neighborhoods - and moving tens of thousands of commuters. Costing up to $2.3 billion, CenterLine would be the largest public-works project in county history -- aside from the proposed El Toro airport."
