1 Daphne ScarbroughWe did not vote on it and Metro should not take our trees, our land and our homes and businesses without a vote.
2 T.R. MackinI do NOT want the rail on Richmond Ave.
3 R. Michelle AndersonIncreased utilization of mass transit could be accomplished by allowing people to ride METRO buses at no charge....they are empty the majority of the time. We do not need a rail system -- it is a costly duplication of infrastructure that is not used. Nor do trees, neighborhoods and businesses need to be destroyed to get people into the Galleria area to shop.
4 Richard WhiteleyI live at 4606 Staunton and am against light rail on Richmond Avenue. METRO needs to honor the voters decision in 2003 and take Richmond off the table.

10 Marjorie ChadwickI question the central premise for Metro's rail on Richmond proposal. Because of their equivocation, I do not believe their research figures on ridership or any of their statements regarding the collateral damage their rail, which is really not a mass transit solution at all, will cause.
11 AnonymousThis will ruin the quality of life for me and my family. We would live less than 2 blocks from this train. I do not want this in my neighborhood and I will never use it.

18 Gayla HamiltonI am adamantly opposed to Rail on Richmond because our mobility within the 610 Loop would be greatly diminished instead of increased. Rail should be to the outer lying areas to keep cars from coming into the city of Houston and where adequate parking to board a train could be provided.
19 peter popkinI never voted on the Richmond proposal that Metro is "cramming down our throats." I voted on the Westpark alignment clearly stated on the ballot.
20 Gilda B. BayeganTHERE IS A BETTER WAY!
21 Susan WalkerTake the rail to westpark as was voted on
22 Mike StaleyNO rail on Richmond. The streets will be to narrow and traffic problems will exist Put the rail where it was supposed to go on Westpark.
23 mary HillNO, to rail on Richmond!!!

28 Kevin GilliardI am completely against rail on Richmond!
29 Neal Meyer
30 Linda SuibPlease do not put the rail on Richmond. We want it on Westpark as we voted in 2003.
31 Michelle Bealei voted for Rail on Wedstpark-not Richmond
32 nicolette voitThis was decided by vote and it was abundantly clear that Westpark was the voters selection. Why is that now being ignored? Do any politicians keep their word? Has Metro become a monopoly that controls us? I VOTE NO ON THE RAIL.ON RICHMOND, ONE MORE TIME.
33 Anonymouslameass excuse for no rail on richmond
34 David CorbanAs a homeowner within four blocks of Richmond, I oppose Metro's unwarranted intrusion into my neighborhood.
35 AnonymousMetro shoul honor the route that was approved - WESTPARK!
36 Carol AyresWestpark is appropriate for a rail system. It is NOT a residential street, as much of Richmond Avenue is. Richmond Avenue would be totally ruined by putting a rail down the middle of the street. As a homeowner who lives on Richmond Avenue, count me as VASTLY opposed to rail on Richmond.
37 AftonAgI say no rail on Richmond because I am a old stuborn fart. Who is opposed to it because every one else is.
38 karl muenchThe debate should not be where do we put the rail to accomadate growth, but should we limit growth and not have rail at all.
39 anthony margiotta
40 Ralph WilkinsI oppose this re-thinking of the Richmond rail. The light rail has proven to be a poor decision, and expansion is an even poorer one.

42 Tom EnglishI have ridden the Metro Rail on Main a total of one time. It took forever. It was slower than taking a car. I would hate to see Richmond Street torn up as it will cost a lot of money and take a long time. If the powers that be feel that Richmond needs more public transportation another bus could be added and stops could be reduced to speed bus times. How about using one of those accordian buses if the ones are full now. Rail on Richmond is a terrible idea!
43 Douche Bag McSelfishyall are idiots
44 Wes MikulichIt would be a crime to destroy the Richmond greenspace. Put rail on westHEIMER where it will do the most good!
45 Mark UlrichI am vigorously opposed to light rail on Richmond. Thanks for the website and keeping us informed!
46 Donna Kay Smith
47 Jack MyhogoffThe rail will bring dark people to our neck of the woods. I ain't likin' that.
48 Hetta LettuceI like to eat at Burger King near Wesleyan. The train will make it harder for me to turn left to get to the drive through lane. Don't mess with my whopper eating.
49 Bootsie PicklesMy Ford Excursion does not fit a lane on Richmond, especially when I am yapping on my cell phone and yelling at Margarita to pick up my kids on time. Now they want to put a train on that street? My SUV needs WIDE LANES. Oh yeah, I like trees and am an environmentalist despite my driving a vehicle that requires filling up every 16.2 miles.
50 Dick HurtzSay yes to massive Costcos and surface parking on Richmond! Keep Richmond Ugly. Say no to rail!
