10th March, 2010 - Posted by carsi - 1 Comment
Today, Mayor Lee Leffingwell announced in a press release that the City will not have an urban rail proposal for voters in November, stating that there are still unanswered questions about where the rail line would go, where the financing for it would come from, and how construction of it will affect Austinites. Mayor Leffingwell emphasized his continuing commitment to providing an urban rail plan to voters, and he expects to have a proposal by the end of 2011. This urban rail project is separate from the commuter rail project, which is still scheduled to begin service on March 22.
