Something to Look Forward To

METRO’s plan for rail in Houston …

The Hillcroft Transit Center would be about a mile from home. Having a straight shot to get to UH makes football, baseball, basketball, and perusing the latest required reading (albeit, overpriced) from the bookstore all the more feasible. Granted, a lot of this is well into the future. I’ve asked about the timeline for the Hillcroft end point and have been told that there are still too many funding contingencies – not to mention, antics by John Culberson – to even speculate. My guess is that maybe we’ll have a better sense of where things stand in about 2-3 more years. Season tickets will have to wait, I suppose.

Kuff has more on the news of METRO’s ballot initiative that will go a ways toward seeing some of this come to fruition.
