IF we had light rail, this would be my proposal for the main station in downtown. It would be north of the Courthouse, in between the TCC East Campus and Main Street.
Obviously, several things would have to happen in order for this to even be a remote possibility.
- Commerce (and by the way I envision the rail lines to run, Houston as well) would be a one way street from Lancaster to the north end of downtown.
- Also, Commerce would have to build all the way out to the future Panther Island. I know there's a power plant and all, but I looked down from the bluff and saw an open spot where Commerce continues.
- Staying with Panther Island, I know the streets would have to connect back to where Main Street would become a two way street again. So there's that to deal with...
- And again, there has to be SOME kind of light rail to make that happen.
Anyway, here's the visual.
