MidtownCoog Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 New Harris County Judge Ed Emmett arrived with a wealth of transportation experience, including stints with the Interstate Commerce Commission, an industry group and as a railroad consultant.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metrop...an/4717256.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Oops ... saw this late. I had posted a similar link in the Richmond Red Line Thread. This probably deserves it's own thread though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Today's Chron editorial would make a nice fit for the Richomond line thread:http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/4717294.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProHouston Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 The last question and his answer are awfully interesting. Seems like he's motivated by the best transportation option for the masses not Afton Oaks.Q: Everybody has an opinion about light rail on Richmond. What's yours?A: If the entire Westpark corridor had been preserved as it was originally, maybe they should have put the rail there, but I think there are issues now that the Southwest Freeway has been rebuilt.When I hear politicians say they are opposed to a transportation improvement because the people most directly affected don't want it, I have a problem. The reason has to be more transportation-related than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 The last question and his answer are awfully interesting. Seems like he's motivated by the best transportation option for the masses not Afton Oaks.sounds like he's trying to avoid that issue specifically. he knows he can do more from the county's perspective vs. METRO's.
