Houston, a city proud to be without zoning, and where being a "city planner" is barely a notch above a registered sex offender (I wish I were joking), has just voted for the third time to expand LRT transit, and expand Rapid Bus lines, and improve the quality of its bus stops, in a $3.5BB bond measure. https://www.khou.com/article/traffic/metro-houston-approves-35b-bond-measure-for-november-ballot/285-3c68ecd2-8bbc-4588-9e9a-8cecd62c3edd https://www.khou.com/article/traffic/metro-houston-approves-... On the other side of things, Austin may get a third crack at approving an LRT system next year, but the last two times Austin voters disapproved of LRT. As a result they have a weird heavy commuter rail that runs on a strange schedule, goes almost nowhere, and does not serve the people well.
