Houston's longest bus rapid transit route could be set despite residents' objections to overpass
William Stewart and Marlene Matterson examine the proposed route for Segment 2 of Metropolitan Transit Authority University Corridor at an open house to learn and ask about the project on July 20, 2022, at Houston Community College Central Campus in Houston.Houston’s longest bus rapid transit line is poised to take a big step forward Thursday, over the objections of some Lockwood-area residents raising concerns about a planned railroad overpass.
If the project’s design is finalized and federal approval — and money — arrive as Metro has anticipated, construction on the $1.5 billion project could begin late next year or early 2025, with buses operating along portions of the route by 2028.Stopped trains still block East End streets. A federal bill could lead to fines for railroads.
Traffic moves along Lockwood Drive at Navigation Boulevard on July 20, 2022, in Houston. Metropolitan Transit Authority's planned University Corridor, which includes a portion of Lockwood Drive, will be among the largest bus rapid transit routes in the nation, connecting numerous neighborhoods and transit centers. Skeptics, however, wonder if the $1.5 billion-plus project will ever attract riders to justify the huge expense, as opposed to simply better bus service.
