Where would each mayoral candidate put a high-speed rail station?
With the Mayorathon right around the corner (September 29th, RSVP here), now's a good time to dig into the candidates' responses to transit-related issues—if you haven't already.
For example, we asked each of them where they think a high-speed rail station should live. Here are their first choices:
| Main Street Station | Boulevard | Broad Street | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jon Baliles | 🚅 | ||
| Jack Berry | 🚅 | ||
| Bobby June | 🚅 | ||
| Joe Morrissey | 🚅 | ||
| Michelle Mosby | 🚅 | ||
| Levar Stoney | 🚅 | ||
| Bruce Tyler | 🚅 | ||
| Lawrence Williams | 🚅 |
We also asked about the next phase of BRT, the Richmond Transit Network Plan, how they'd work with their partners in the counties to create a truly regional transit system, and how'd they fund that system. Their answers are interesting and provide a glimpse at how they'd approach transit as the next mayor of Richmond.
Go forth, read the responses, and then RSVP for Mayorathon!
