Editorial in Hampton Roads Virginian-Pilot, Norfolk, VA, 9/24/17:

 

 

Light-rail choice should be about the future

 

 

THE PATH selected for a proposed light rail line in Norfolk will say more about where the region is headed over the next 20 to 30 years than where it is today.

 

As such, it will be important for Hampton Roads Transit officials, community leaders and residents to focus on potential future growth as HRT conducts a multi-year process of determining how light rail could — and should — be expanded.
