That’s the situation facing suburbs along the proposed Southwest Light Rail Transit line as legislators continue their long battle over the line’s state funding.
The line has been touted by its backers as a spur to future development in the west-metro suburbs. In reality, development has already occurred — quite a bit of it.
For at least a decade, and in some cases longer, city officials and planners have guided development with the Southwest line in mind.

So what happens if they don’t?
