When planning teams avoid discussing critical infrastructure dependencies

Our transit planning team has spent eight months designing a new bus rapid transit line that we all know won't work without better rail connections, but every time someone brings up the rail piece, we pivot to talking about 'phase two' or 'future integration.' I'm starting to think we're designing something that looks good on paper but will fail our community because we won't address the hard infrastructure realities.
