Too bad for Cap Metro that the rail issue was voted down TWICE by sensible citizens.

I remeber that memo. Nothing has changed since then. Plus, somehow, despite us voting it down TWICE... they are still putting in a light rail line from Downtown to Leander.

WTF??? Exactly how does that work? They put it on a referendum, it gets sh*tcanned, and they decide to do it anyway?

Isn't that coming awefully close to a criminal offense?

Actually, that will be passenger rail, as it runs on a designated rail rather than down the middle of a street. This rail system was approved by a slight margin by the voters.

BTW, did you know that Cap Metro built the NW park & ride next to the tracks BEFORE the passenger rail was approved?

Now, I understand Cedar Park wants to have a train stop again, even though they voted to opt out of the Cap Metro taxing authority several years ago.
