Initial stations are:
1. Convention Center
2. Plaza Saltillo
3. MLK (way out east)
4. Lamar/Airport
5. Behind IBM
6. Northwest Park-and-Ride
7. Leander P&R
Stations mentioned sometime:
3a. Manor Road (still out in middle of nothing appealing - mentioned in streetcar study)
4a. Highland Mall (across Airport Blvd from mall entrance - mentioned in EA but unlikely)
5a. "Howard Lane" (recently roundly rejected by neighborhood folks - would most lately have been a small strip along FM1325 - mentioned in EA as farther out on Howard but unlikely in either location I think)
I would not bet on any but the first list (read more in the
Environmental Assessment)
The only ones of these with ANY pedestrian potential are the Plaza Saltillo station (too bad neighbors strongly resist additional redevelopment) and the one at Airport/Lamar (neighbors starting to fight back against that area's redevelopment as well). Highland Mall station has zero potential; everything else is far away from streets and/or activity centers. Take a look at the section for "notional stations" and you can see for yourself.
