HPRA speaker to discuss METRO, rail today
The Houston Property Rights Association has announced that today's lunch topic will be METRO and rail:
This Friday the HPRA speaker is Ted Richardson, a resident of the “Richmond-Westpark corridor,” who 22 years ago was a thorough student of Metro’s 1983 Heavy rail plan.
Ted will present the engineering details of that plan, how the technical conclusions differ from Metro statements since, and Metro’s changing posture on its extradordinary powers of eminent domain near rail stations.
The Chronicle ran an op-ed by Richardson on this topic several weeks ago.
As always, the public is invited to the talk. The $14 lunch is optional. The talk/lunch takes place at the Courtyard Restaurant, 1885 St. James Place (in the Galleria area), at noon.
I'll try to secure permission to record an mp3 of the talk and post it here at some point.
