    Based off his blogs, tweets, and news/media interviews, he has very strong negative opinion of METRO and public transit. If the rumors are true, it could be a very sad few years for METRO and the future of transit in this city could be in limbo. 

    Well that answers that. If there’s ANY disinterest in public transportation development at the highest levels in this city, that means it ain’t happening.

    I think we need to pray the University Line get's built. Last I heard Whitmire might appoint Bill King as Metro chair. We already know politicians can derail anything regardless if voters approved $3.5 Billion in transit expansion. 

    Not familiar with Bill King. Is he from the Culberson school of thought?

    Properties close to stops will be objectively more valuable. Not sure what the impact will be for properties that are currently close to a #25 stop, but will be further from a BRT stop, but my guess is that the effect of the higher-order transit would outweigh the loss of a local service bus stop.

    Do we know the confirmed cross streets along Richmond that will have stops?

    This is assuredly the case. I saw a master plan for the Menil 8 or 9 years ago and there are several other dense developments planned. Obviously plans change but the folks at the Menil are not going to short change their patrons, benefactors, and community.

    I can’t wait for them to build something facing Richmond Ave. That fenced off area kills my vibe since I live a block south of Richmond and could otherwise easily walk to the Menil.

    Amazing that this group can do a garage and the Menil hotel is going to go with two surface lots. 

    My guess is that the Menil Foundation has other longer term plans for the surface lot, so they don’t want to build a more “permanent” parking garage. Just a hunch.
