    "delayed cause the light rail always holds you up. you will wait at the stop lights forever. Also the surrounding streets seem to be always under construction but never fixed .expect constant car wrecks on 19thave. I would leave earlier i taking northern or Glendale east/west in the morning its a busy street for commuting."
