On one hand, METRO appears to have a Katy rail corridor planned on Westpark. Besides, the point was made that dropping people off at rail stops in the middle of the freeway does not make rail convenient or safe. The only draw back would be the ability to build some kind of high(er)-speed train (my pie-in-the-sky dream) from the suburbs to link up to the existing rail lines. That option would most certainly require the freeway corridors to be successful. In any case, it does not seem prudent to totally close the I-10 corridor to rail in the future. </p>
