Cory Crow comments on the news that METRO will not receive “stimulus” funds for light rail, while Harris County has been allocated almost $200 million for the Grand Parkway:
Metro has dithered, changed technology, changed plans and done pretty much anything but get started on the projects, with delays and significant slack-time already used up in the pre-implementation phase. This time last year it would have been fair to say that the Light Rail project was being held-up by Culberson and others in Congress. Today, if Metro wants to see the reason for the delay, they only need look in the mirror.
