A downtown tunnel benefits the entire network by providing connections that improve the speed and reliability of the entire CapMetro transit system. By allowing these transit lines to operate separate from street traffic, it improves safety for everyone, and allows for futureproofing. * | | | | | |
As part of Project Connect, the downtown tunnel is a great opportunity for placemaking that will encompass social features including climate control, retail shops, restaurants, public art installations, free Wi-Fi access, and restrooms across multiple stations at Republic Square and other downtown locations. * | | | | | |
