In 2003 Parsons Brinckerhoff did a study on rail transit for Richmond.
It recommended a mix of commuter rail and light rail such as a light rail line to the airport.
(Linking is hard when I’m on my phone I hope to come back and edit the link to the 2003 study into this if someone else could do it first that would be great)
I am wondering if that study should be updated now that Virginia owns the Buckingham branch north of town and one south of town (is it the S Line to Petersburg?)
Could Virginia Connect them via Main St Station? (Are there any gaps?)
I picture Ettrick as the southern terminus, is there a natural one on the North?
