nope what is hurting the project are you anti rail birds who claim that there is corruption in the process but have no proof for your false allegations.  I agree that there have been mistakes made but you don't dump the project because of it.  if this were the rule, then no big project would be completed.  all projects big and small have problems, but they can be overcome and made successful.   despite what you antis think, there are many more people who favor this project's completion.  if subways and trains were not built in new York, people would not have means for transportation and maybe new York would not be a great city it is today.
