What’s Next For Houston Transit?
Well, if Houston ever gets a pro-rail congressman in the 7th district:
**Downtown to Uptown Line
**Extensions to IAH and HOU
**A NW Line: From Downtown along the Washington Ave corridor and over to the NW Transit Center
**A NE Line: Extension from Eastside Line northward along Lockwood and over up Homestead
**Commuter Rail to Ft Bend, Kingwood, The Woodlands, Bay Area/NASA
All lonnnnnnnnnnnnng overdue
Come on Houston (The City With No Limits), you can do it.
