LETTER: Put rapid transit at stadium

The drawing of the proposed domed stadium published on April 10 shows lots of green space but just four entrances. Judging by the amount of parking space indicated, there are going to be the most appalling traffic jams at the new stadium. May I suggest that space be reserved -- a strip of land say 100 feet wide through the site -- for a future rapid transit corridor? Sooner or later the city will have to commit to such a system, whatever its nature, so it makes good sense to be prepared for it at the beginning of the stadium project rather than have to try to find the space later on.
