woody_hawkeye Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 "Near" may be a poor choice of words if a decade is considered not near, but this article on the conroe website talks about the rapidly gaining support momentum in Montgomery County for a change in mass transportation inter-city and regional. In considering mobility, we would hope that a rail system would play a role, especially high speed rail to move us to Dallas, to New Orleans and to Houston, among further destinations in Texas and beyond. 20 minutes to downtown Houston? This could have significant impact on regional housing, design of highway systems, work commutes, security, and the economy in general. Maglev would even further reduce the time element and provide a very comfortable ride. About time to start this initative! Conroe Courier articleAnother reference is in the Haif. So far, not much discussion, but it might start taking off soon. HAIF Transportation folder - Maglev technologyA good reference is the Texas High Speed Rail and Transportation site which has the proposed backbone on the home page.
