TORY GATTIS calls attention to a Dallas Observer blog post on the congestion that rail expansion may produce in downtown Dallas. “My understanding is that Houston may face the same risk when the east-west line opens downtown,” writes Gattis, “It will take some amazingly sophisticated train and traffic signal synchronization to keep things running smoothly down there. Same for the Uptown/Galleria line on Post Oak.”
The coming light rail congestion in Downtown and Uptown isn’t going to be pretty, although it is going to come as a surprise to most (since the topic doesn’t seem to interest most media outlets in Houston).
