METRO has announced plans regarding a future US90A rail route connecting Missouri City to the general area of the Medical Center light rail line. Although the exact route is under evaluation, all the alternatives will affect the Westbury area. METRO is looking both at light rail and heavy rail. They are looking at options on both sides of US90A. Some of the options on our side of US90A could directly impact properties in Westbury or Stones Throw. One alternative even shows light rail tracks on West Airport and Hillcroft. Although the drawings do not show where future stations may be located, it is anticipated that at least one station will be located in our general area.
METRO will be presenting drawings with the rail alternatives at the Westbury High School atrium on Tuesday, February 22 from 6 - 8 PM. This is part of the Environmental Impact Study process and they are seeking comments from the community. Comments will be accepted through March 11.
