Bike and bus lane improvements planned along Trinity Street and San Jacinto Boulevard
Tuesday, August 6, 2024 by Beth Bond
Improvements along Trinity Street and San Jacinto Boulevard between East Cesar Chavez Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard are coming. They will introduce transit priority lanes intended to enhance bus operations for existing and future Capital Metro routes, add protected bike lanes and enhance pedestrian crossings, while also maintaining vehicle parking and access for drivers. Construction is planned to begin in mid-August and be completed before the end of 2024. Intermittent lane closures are expected during construction, so some delays will pop up along the construction route. For more information, check out the project fact sheet. The project is part of a partnership between the city and Capital Metro.
