I was at an event with Sen. Wagner (R-Virginia Beach) and we got to discussing trains and transit. He informed me that it is more likely than not that Virginia Beach is going to vote down the Oceanfront extension of the Tide (though I don't know if he was referring to the entire project or just the bit about extending past Town Center). This came up in the context of some other transit discussions...particularly his support for a fast ferry between Norfolk and Newport News/Hampton as a short-term relief valve for the HRBT/MMBT traffic issues (since we're probably looking at a decade or more to get any more capacity there).
