I think the two most important things in the video were;
(1) They're planning a system to maximize getting FTA approval and (2) they're planning to use initially single light rail vehicles in dedicated lanes.
(1) explains why Gaudalupe and Lamar was avoided and why they are short of reaching the airport and (2) defines what they mean by urban rail, two light rail vehicles would be a light rail train.
I was also thankful that they will continue to look at potentially crossing the red line at grade or with an aerial structure, which should be significantly cheaper than the tunnel that's planned presently.
