Austin Commuter Rail to transform the "Live Music Capital
Those who have lived long enough in Austin have experienced tremendous growth. Since 1980, the population of ultra-cool city in Texas has more than doubled. In 2006, the population reached a respectable 709 000 (twice that of the "Great Austin "). Now, being Austin, the abundant growth occurred with the style and foresight.
The "Keep Austin Weird" slogan has helped keeping the city a wide selection of small shops and local services, while minimizing the impact of the roller surface as large areas often associated with development. Music, art and culture flourish, and everyone knows the many live music venues here, Austin is also home to numerous galleries, museums, theaters and restaurants. Finally, while Austin City maintained its "weird" also kept clean, and MSN have been recognized as "the city U.S. green. "However, a problem faced by residents of Austin's growing traffic, especially in the Northwest Corridor. But this too be addressed, in fact, the solution is scheduled to begin in late 2008.
Solution – Or at least part of it – is the Capital MetroRail, a new light rail service to be held in early Leandro (26 miles north-west Austin), through Cedar Park, McNeil and the community of Abercrombie, past the center Highland music, through Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and ending in downtown Austin Convention Center. This section of the Capital MetroRail will cover 32 miles – About nine stations along the route – from the periphery to the northwest of downtown Austin. The advantages of this type of rapid transit system in a city like Austin are many, reduce carbon emissions, to reduce commuter time, and even spend a night in the capital of music "live the most pleasant." Of course, plans do not stop This is not a line.
For taxpayers, one of the best things about this case is that because Capital MetroRail will use railroad the existing line costs will be significantly less than many other urban rail services. Thus, although city officials are quick to emphasize that the future of commuter rail lines of a referendum, many Austin residents hope that their neighborhood will be next. The future plans include a line east of Elgin, and a line northward through Pflugerville. In addition to the Capital MetroRail line, Austin also able to take advantage of a regional passenger train running from San Antonio through Austin to Round Rock and beyond. What a great time to live in Austin!
