Overview

Designed to be easily accessible, some stations will include Park & Ride facilities, while other stations will be designed for easy accessibility by bus, bike or foot and passenger drop-offs. Once customers reach their destinations, buses will be waiting to whisk them away to places of employment, retail centers and other locations.

Station platforms will be accessible, and will feature windscreens, ticket vending machines, seating and informational displays. Bike racks will be placed adjacent to all station platforms. The stations will be well lit for enhanced customer safety.

Stations along Capital MetroRail will be completed in two phases:

1. Platform and infrastructure construction
2. Station finish (canopies, pavers, display boards, etc.)

In October 2007, the Capital Metro Board approved a proposal for the design and construction of the rail station canopies. After carefully considering the unique environment of each station and listening to community feedback, Capital Metro decided to build a combination of glass and steel canopies at different locations.

The first concept features traditional architecture with a painted steel roof, similar to current Capital Metro bus stops.

The second concept features a modern, sun-reflective glass canopy that provides cooling shade, yet permits light to shine through, similar to a skylight. The glass canopy will also feature artwork within the glass at each stop.

Capital Metro will construct steel canopies at the Downtown-Convention Center, Highland, Kramer and Leander stations. Glass canopies will be built at Lakeline, Howard, Crestview and MKL, Jr. stations.
