Metro to bridge rapid transit between Uptown, downtown Houston along I-10 route
Crucially, the project also links more neighborhoods and amenities to rapid service, along I-10 where officials plan stations at Studemont, Shepherd-Durham and Memorial Park. The Studemont and Shepherd-Durham stations are spaced to draw riders in the Heights and Washington corridors, said Amma Cobbinah, a Metro senior transit planner overseeing the project. Those cross-streets also have frequent bus service, Cobbinah said.
The busway will straddle the eastbound frontage road, transit officials said, giving them options with landscaping and public art to make it more appealing. With the addition of the rapid buses, Metro and city officials would convert the lanes to transit use only. Those with parking garage access and deliveries would have access across the lanes, but most traffic would be removed and the lanes made exclusively for buses and trains.
Exactly how they would arrive in downtown along Bagby, however, remains unclear as Metro moves forward. Current plans for the I-45 rebuild — a massive $9-billion-plus plan that remakes all the downtown freeway system — remove the direct connector buses use to avoid the I-10 and I-45 interchange.
