I've found a map which depicts the "Red-Green" alignment of the 2000 plan; see:

http://www.lightrailnow.org/images/AUSLRT3.gif

The solid red line is the section on the CMTA railway alignment; the green
is the section in street alignments (mainly Lamar-Guadalupe, and, of
course, the ill-fated S. Congress in S. Austin).

The dotted red line, solid red, and orange segment, basically follow the
CMTA railway, now the route of the "urban commuter rail" light railway.
