HSR Disrupts Neighborhoods

Elevated high-speed rail, a project of privately held Texas Central Railway, is being proposed to run above the BNSF railroad along 34th Street and N. Houston Rossyln Road -- running through long-established neighborhoods in the Inwood area, Magnum Manor, Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, historic Independence Heights, Lindale and more. Super Neighborhoods 12, 22 and 51 are actively opposing the proposed routes and their potentially intrusive impact on neighborhoods. Scroll down for images and video.
