Four light rail forums this week

From Off the Kuff, Metro will hold four public meetings this week on its proposed University light rail line. In case you've forgotten (or have been out of commission after getting hit my a MetroRail train), Metro has suggested building the line, which will connect UH and the Galleria area, mostly along Richmond Avenue. Some Richmond homeowners and businesspeople are objecting to that proposal — loudly — and say Metro should build the line along Westpark instead. The meetings give residents a chance to weigh in on either proposal. All meetings start at 6:30 p.m.:

• Tonight: San Jacinto Girl Scouts headquarters, 3110 Southwest Freeway
• Tuesday: Bering Memorial United Methodist Church, 1440 Harold
• Wednesday: Shell Auditorium, McNair Hall, Rice University (town meeting with John Culberson)
• Wednesday: Pilgrim Elementary School, 3315 Barrington

Check out the complete meeting schedule here. Metro expects to make a decision on the location of the new light rail line later this year.
