The only question is whether it goes through Ghent and ODU or up military to the airport and to the base. It will get extended and Norfolk will start the next spur after that is completed.

They've been studying it for 20 years. It isn't happening. They lost the public with the way it started, they have no money, and none of the other cities and counties that feed HRT want anything to do with subsidizing it. They blew it.

They studied it before the first leg was built than they built it. Then they studied a variety of routes and selected their top choice, the east side extension. Last year they completed the study on that extension. The FTA said they need to look at the westside as a second option. They're completing that now. Once that is done, theyll present it to the FTA and they'll select the preferred route and put it out for design and build.

Nothing is blown. A very slow process will just take longer to get to a fuller fleshed out system without VB involved.
