planned to be up and running by 2012, but various circumstances have changed the overall timing. According to a statement by Annise Parker, Houston's mayor, both the University Line and the Uptown Line would be delayed until a future date when funding could be secured. According to construction details from the GO METRORail website, construction was moving slowly. Further delays to the construction were also a possibility pending the FTA investigation Metro (which began in April 2010) for possible "Buy America" violations by building new prototype cars in Spain. Another obstacle surfaced in August 2010 when Metro officially announced that it had fallen short $49 million on its budget, but insisted that the current dates for completion (Red Line Extension by 2013 and East End/Green Line by 2015) would not be affected. However, such was not the case, after the decision handed down by the FTA on September 8, 2010, that stated that Metro was in violation of "Buy America" rules – after talking with the board, on September 9, 2010, all progress for the three light rail lines under construction was to be slowed and a new (generic) date of 2014 was set. The current plans to date are as follows: The Red Line Extension from UH–Downtown to the Northline Transit Center that runs . The East End/Green Line extends east from Downtown Houston to Altic/Howard Hughes The Southeast/Purple Line extends from downtown at Smith Street (near the Main Street line) and terminates at Palm Center around MLK and Griggs Street. The University/Blue Line (according to Go METRORail) will extend from the Hillcroft Transit Center to the Eastwood Transit Center, and follow the Richmond/Wheeler and Westpark corridors with transfers to the Red Line at Wheeler Station and the Uptown/Gold Line at Bellaire/South Rice. According to what Metro reported to the local station, FOX 26, this line has received a federal Record of Decision, what it calls the final step necessary to build this line. The Uptown/Gold Line (according to Go METRORail) will run from Bellaire/South Rice Station on Westpark through Uptown to the Northwest Transit Center for a total distance of . This route possibly may be extended another to Northwest Mall. Also, another map shows that this line will be extended to the Hillcroft Transit Center and furthermore it appears a duplicate line will make its way from the Northwest Transit Center to the Eastwood Transit Center.
