Has funding become more likely or is that come next after they hire the company to design and build the system? This will be great for our city when it comes on line.

If you haven’t been east on Rosedale recently, the areas on either side are all torn up in an obvious widening project. The new roadway areas have been rough graded. There is a rail bridge over the road that looks like it will need to be rebuilt to accommodate the wider Rosedale. I suppose there is at least some easement set aside for the streetcars. My son is going to Wesleyan right now, but it appears that the Texas Wesleyan spur of the streetcar system won’t be operating before he graduates. That’s too bad for him, but it should help a lot of students in the future, especially since it seems that TWU and TCU do a far amount of collaboration on projects.
