The Chronicle had an editorial piece about the issue in today's paper:

Of all the planned inner-loop routes, rail on Richmond makes the most sense. Metro's proposed University Line along that path would connect a dense corridor of employment centers, stretching from downtown to the Galleria area via Greenway Plaza. There is admittedly little room in the budget for this route anytime soon. Depending on how the upcoming bus rapid transit system works in the Galleria area, Metro may even eye an alternative to rail for the Richmond route.

 

If Culberson wants to be deeply involved in mass transit decision-making, then perhaps he should run for local office or seek appointment to the Metro board. If he wants to help Metro from Washington, then he could send down the federal dollars necessary to build elevated rail. But by trying to interfere far away from the ongoing debate, Culberson shows that he cares more about his D.C. image than local needs.
