Still dreaming those dreams.
Keep in mind that the high speed rail now being bandied about would skip downtown Richmond altogether. Former City Council member Bill Pantele noticed.

Here’s a recent announcement:

Dear Supporters,

The Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor Tier 2 DEIS for the portion from Richmond to Raleigh has been released and 8 public hearings have been scheduled along the corridor. To find our joint talking points, go to www.VHSR.com/SEHSRT2EIS
