I wanted to clarify that the plan that the original article mentions is a transportation plan that was developed by LAN engineering. The Economic Development Plan has not been developed yet, but should be complete within the next month or two. In the meantime, we have a website where previous presentations have been posted: www.tipstrategies.com/kyle

Time to gloom it up once again I see. There will never be commuter rail in Kyle, for reasonable definitions of "never". UP will require so much money to move, and we're never going to be willing to pay it; and even if we were, it's a decades-out project. And then, after spending billion or so building UP some new tracks east of town, what do we have? A rail car which goes up across the river to Seaholm but can't (ever!) continue into downtown, UT, or the Capitol. So it's hop off the train and on to the stuck-in-traffic shuttlebus. Yay. That'll sure be compelling enough to pull the drivers out of their cars.

I live in Kyle and am moving out as soon as possible. It was OK when I moved here a year ago, but now it's just getting to be too much. Plus, the Homeowners Assoc is a pain :)

Buda-Niederwald is the new Kyle.
