| Transcript | At a Jan. 27 information sharing session sponsored by the UH Faculty Senate, Staff Council and Student Government Association staff members address Metro officials with concerns about the light rail transit's slated proximity to the University's Child Care Center. I Newton Liu AT A CROSSROADS Metro's plans to place light rail transit corridors at UH sparks inquiries among community members HIGHER FUEL COSTS, coupled with a desire to become more environmentally friendly, has placed Houston on the map to further expand its use of light rail transportation across the city within the last seven years. However, METRO'S more recent plans to expand its light rail to the surrounding UH area prompted questions concerning the rail's proximity to UH and its potential threat to pedestrian traffic at an April 29 community meeting at the UH Hilton. Metro officials outlined the Houston Transit Authority's plans for the southeast and university corridors, which will bottleneck the flow of traffic along campus arteries including Elgin Street, Scott Street and Wheeler Avenue. The threat of noise pollution, the rail's 20 to 30 feet distance from the playground of the Child Care Center, and the track's blockage of entrance 6C, which leads to the Health Center and the Center for Students with DisAbilities, were the main concerns of the UH staff. 140 ■ Spring |
