Capital Metro Downtown Station

The project goal was to provide a permanent station and expanded capacity to meet future demand and future service. The station includes a new public plaza for those commuting in and out of downtown for work, heading to school or exploring some of Austin’s popular attractions. The station also features parasol structures mounted on columns, offering a striking visual welcome to downtown and overhead protection for customers as they wait for, enter or exit the train cars. Additional updates include aesthetic and safety enhancements, utility upgrades, new streetscape, a new bridge and bikeway, rehabilitation of the water quality pond and sidewalk improvements.
