I got this email from an information request with the City of Kyle.
From Brian Gettinger, "Tunnel Evangelist and Business Development Lead" at Elon Musk's The Boring Company:
> Wanted to keep you guys updated on progress here. I am meeting with CAMPO on the 25th. I talked to {} last week and he is pretty excited about potentially resurrecting the Lone Star rail concept in a different form. I see the concept coming together like this:
> 1) TBC deploys individual systems in San Antonio & Austin
> 2) Development entity forms or reconstitutes to lead connection from San Antonio to Austin ‐ likely collaborating with TXDOT to follow I‐35 ROW
> 3) SATX to ATX system deployed in Segments each with individual utility
>- 1. Kyle to Austin
>- 2. New Braunfels to SATX
>- 3. San Marcos to Kyle
>- 4. New Braunfels to San Marcos
> With the leaked articles about ATX and SATX there is enough in public space for you to start having "what if" conversations with folks, just don't implicate me or TBC directly. TBC and I are most useful operating in the background, not in the front of the parade.
> Let me know how I can be helpful.
Response from the city manager:
> Hi Brian,
> Looks solid to me. We would love a connection into downtown Austin AND ABIA. Once there is a plan for the overall plan we will need to know what the cost is to Kyle for the station and we can begin identifying a location and funding plan. Please let us know what our next steps should be.
