I wonder what ever happened to the #NewportNews Light Rail plan proposed in 2012 by Senior District Planner Carl Jackson?It was planned for 2030 development.

The proposed plan included the following stops for the starter route:
- CNU
- Riverside Hospital
- City Center
- Patrick Henry Mall
- Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport
The current ETA for public transportation from CNU to the Newport News/Williamsburg airport is 56 minutes vs a 14 minute drive (assuming there's no traffic).
an improved public transportation system would improve the lives of many residents whether it's the impact of their commute or going to do errands.
Not to mention the absurd amount of pedestrian accidents on the many dangerous intersections of #newportnews that lack crosswalks and pedestrian crossing signals at even major intersections like Bland Blvd / Jefferson Ave.
