In case you haven’t heard, Governor Kaine is itching to move forward with plans to bring a high-speed rail to the Richmond region.
This $1.6 billion project would pay for additional tracks (and improvements to existing ones) between D.C. and Richmond and on to Petersburg. Train speeds would increase from 70 to 90mph and make the 90-minute trip from D.C. to Richmond “more reliable.”
If the high-speed rail happens, would you use it? Do you think other people will? If so, could it potentially turn Richmond and its surrounding areas into another D.C. suburb?
Tell us what you think.
