Any idea about what's going to become of that derelict gas station at NW corner of Montrose and W. Alabama? Something interesting, or just a different gas station?

On a halfway-related topic, is the 610 west loop bridge over 59 going to be redone any time, or will the fancy new freeway trickle through the decrepit old bridge?

Anybody know anything about the route of the Wheeler/Westpark line? I've heard that it might use a "59 and Westpark" alignment, i suppose in that empty space on the south side of the freeway, maybe, but it seems to me that a line west down Richmond might be better -- there'd be places to walk to and from, instead of a roaring freeway between the train and local destinations (I am guessing that more people from the north, apartment-y side of the freeway will use the train than will from the south, mansion-y side.) and it seems that the Richmond gate in the 527 wall is the only place to get through, anyway? Richmond could use a little revitalization down here on the east end...
