was promised by the Uptown Management District that $70 million of infrastructure improvements would be implemented in order to allow Metro to build this line; however, this has not come to pass and therefore Metro appears to keep the construction of the line in limbo for the present. Countering the bad news regarding Metro's light rail expansion, the House of Representatives and the Senate passed bills allotting $150 million to the Red Line Extension and Southeast/Green Line light rail projects for fiscal year 2011. Added to the previous $150 million allotted fiscal year 2010, the total amount given to these projects is $300 million. However, according to the FTA, this will not be available to METRO unless they rebid the contract to build the new light rail cars. In light of this, Metro decided to build light rail only according to the funds they have while waiting to see if they will receive federal funds.

As explained above, though, commuter rail appears to be out of the question for now regarding the US-90A route. In August 2010, Representative Al Green decided to push the matter of the US-90A route at a luncheon meeting. Metro's findings were brought up during the presentation with estimates of 12,000 people riding commuter rail when commenced and 23,000 by 2030. Also, another study brought up indicated that the population of Houston would increase by 3.5 million, or double (and then some) the current population. Green also gave words of thanks to those showing support since the measure to create commuter rail was passed in 2003. Metro and the FTA also intend to file an Environmental
