From the public meeting posted above, it looks like the schedule is that construction is projected to start in 2025 and finish by 2028.  We all know these things take longer, but at least that's what we're starting with.

Currently METRO is in project development for this route and begins engineering phase in the next year or so.

As a resident of EaDo for 15 years, I do not support this project. The St Emmanuel area, which has been developing nicely,, will be removed and the east end will not be adequately connected to downtown. This is a nightmare for us. Thank god there are those in the city and county who oppose it.

They want to do BRT between NW Transit Center and downtown. 

 

I think it would be tough to fit LRT on Washington.

 

I think it would look like what was done with the Green Line on Harrisburg.....

Yeah, probably would be overkill to have all three lines go to Hobby.  Of course, nobody has proposed such a thing.

Slide 18 of the MetroNext plan shows them proposing just that.  However, I really doubt we will ever get anything like what they have in this plan.

And....looking at it further, I now can see having the red line go there so that TMC workers have a straight shot to Hobby, rather than going downtown and switch lines. But it would be good to show at least one of those three lines go elsewhere, IMO.

Open in ms paint, reduce the size, save as a different file type, maybe png.  20kb seems really small, though - something's not quite right.

Alright, stand corrected - two lines.....still think it's a bad idea to swing the red line over there...

Yes, isn't one of the three lines is enough?  Seems like overkill to have all three lines go to Hobby. 

Is turning the red line to Hobby really the right thing to do? Why not extend further SW?  It seems like the Green line is the best candidate for extending to Hobby.  

Um....I don’t think you are referring to Eado...it’s not in a flood zone...appreciate the snark, tho

Looks like they knocked out a sizable wall portion on Emancipation. I’ll be happy for any retail at this point.

I was really hoping that someone would create a list like this - definitely much appreciated.  It is probably asking too much, but a sixth item in an entry could identify location - it would really help those befuddled ones (like me) who can't keep track in their heads.  Something like "Location: Downtown (Main and Rusk) or Uptown/Galleria (1234 Sage). If it is too much work, then disregard this suggestion.
