Light rail routes to Norfolk Naval Station narrowed to 6
The list of potential routes for extending light rail to Norfolk Naval Station is shorter.
Hampton Roads Transit released a map showing six corridors that staff considered the most technically sound and the most preferred by the public among a host of possibilities that came out of prior workshops. The options still on the table include a corridor that runs by Old Dominion University and two that skirt Norfolk International Airport.

Whatever happened to... the light rail route to Norfolk Naval Station?
Back in September 2013, Titustown resident Nathaniel Riggins and 40 others sat around a table with push pins and a string.
The goal: map out the best route from the current Tide light-rail route to Norfolk Naval Station, the region’s largest employer.

5 to 15 years? That's a long time. Needs for the areas served could change the longer this lingers.The whole process to completion could take from five to 15 years, Navarrette said.

NORFOLK, Va. — In a departure from previous plans to pick the preferred route and move forward with just one environmental study, Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) will study two potential light rail routes to Norfolk Naval Station under a new recommendation from the Federal Transit Agency, The Virginian-Pilot reports.
HRT CEO William Harrell presented the FTA's recommendations to a Norfolk City Council transportation subcommittee, with the subcommittee taking no action. HRT is asking the city manager for a letter of encouragement to proceed, which would lead to them issuing requests for proposals for two different consultants to complete independent studies.

Column in Hampton Roads Virginian-Pilot, 11/19/16:
The future of light rail in Norfolk may be a decade away
Light rail is dead in Virginia Beach. Long live light rail in Norfolk?
There’s lots of talk of “what’s next?” after the defeat of light rail in the Beach, 57-43 percent.
Well, it may take an entire decade before Norfolk sees another finished leg of The Tide. That’s because it takes an incredible amount of time, work and money to study and build a route.
