Central Austin is looking at a 14-mile light-rail system. The rail would run from the airport to downtown, through the University of Texas and on to the new Mueller development that lies to the east.
This plan was instigated by the City Council, who hired ROMA Design Group to produce it at a cost of $250,000. The proposal, which will likely cost hundreds of millions of dollars is being analyzed for viability. At the moment it is not clear who will pay for it.
The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization board will have the final say. If the examination takes place quickly and the CAMPO board gives the nod, the light-rail proposal could be put before voters in November. Although many are hopeful that this may happen there are many complicated questions that need to be answered about costs and benefits of the project.
