Residents seek to change METRO rail plans in the MacGregor area
Mac Gregor area residents in Super Neighborhood 68 are trying to convince the Metropolitan
Transit Authority not to go ahead with its plan to run light rail on Martin Luther King Blvd.
Residents cite safety concerns for area school children. Currently, neither MTA nor the City of
Houston have policies that address registered sex offenders riding on the same public transportation
school childern might ride or have to come in close proximity to.
Residents also argue that
rail along Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. would defile Houston's only public symbol that marks
the legacy of Dr. King, as well as the City's Black Community's civil rights struggle that
still exists today.
Specifically, residents are not opposed to rail, but are asking that
the rail be re-routed to the back side of the MacGregor Neighborhoods, as a less invasive and cheaper
alternative to the current METRO plan.
