Well this won't be going anywhere anytime soon:
While the study found a system would be technically feasible, factors such as"high initial capital costs, high annual operating costs and relatively low fare revenue" would make the project too costly.

The study did say that increased development/density near the proposed stations would increase the viability of a CR service and the project would be eligible for federal funding. But for now it's pretty much a non starter.
