Construct multi-modal transit access improvements on brazos ST. From elgin to pierce streets to improve access to adjacent metro transit stops

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded $5.14 million in Federal Transit Formula Grants (CFDA 20.507) to the Midtown Management District on September 25, 2025, to construct multi-modal transit access improvements along a 0.66-mile corridor on Brazos Street from Elgin to Pierce Streets in Texas. The project will deliver pedestrian infrastructure enhancements including sidewalks, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps, associated signalization, functional landscaping, pedestrian lighting, and necessary public utility improvements for stormwater, water, and wastewater systems. All work will occur within existing rights-of-way and within one-half mile of an existing Metro Transit stop.

These infrastructure improvements are designed to enhance safe and accessible access for transit riders in the Midtown Management District area and improve connectivity to adjacent Metro Transit stops. The project is scheduled for completion by October 31, 2028. The award represents a capital investment by the FTA in transit-supportive infrastructure that strengthens the accessibility and functionality of the existing public transportation system.
