From just a few weeks ago. The extreme resistance Houston's Light Rail once faced from Conservatives is hardly to be heard these days, even on local Talk Radio:
HOUSTON — The Houston City Council approved the addition of five new light rail lines Wednesday to help ease congestion in the nation's fourth-largest city.
The rail lines approved in a 13-2 vote could be completed by 2012, the Houston Chronicle reported in its online edition.
Houston was listed Tuesday as the seventh-most congested city in the nation by Inrix, a traffic information service. The rail lines would give the city 30 additional miles of light rail — up from the current 7.5 miles, said Metro spokeswoman Sandra Salazar.
