Greetings from Orlando. I'm still getting my convention legs under me, but I expect to have an interesting tale or two to tell in the coming days. This sort of thing is always good for that.

The recent I-45 town hall meeting was videotaped, and will be shown on local access cable tonight and next Wednesday. Click the More link for viewing times, and for some other news items from an email received from the I-45 Coalition, whose nascent web page can now be seen.

If you were not able to attend, or would like to see the meeting again – Time Warner has scheduled it for viewing tonight, Monday 4/18/05 at 10:30 pm, on Channel 17. It will be aired again on Wednesday, 4/27/05 at 8 am. It is 3 hours and 38 minutes long…so get your video recorders rolling to watch it at your convenience! Thank you Time Warner!

On a related transportation issue, the City of Houston is hosting a discussion about solutions to Houston's railroad crossing problems. The TxDOT Commissioner and Federal Railroad Administration staff will attend, along with reps from the railroads and HISD officials, to hear your concerns.
