REPORTER AMANDA DUGAN EXPLORES
THE FUTURE MOBILITY HUB.AMANDA
DUGAN: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
AREA UNDERNEATH BEN WHITE
BOULEVARD BETWEEN MANCHACA
ROAD AND PACK SADDLE PASS.
DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM TARGET.
THIS WILL BE TRANSFORMED INTO
THE FUTURE WESTGATE TRANSIT
CENTER.CAPMETRO AND TXDOT HAVE
BEEN COLLABORATING ON THE
PROJECT FOR THE PAST TEN
YEARS. THE MOBILITY HUB WILL
BRING A VARIETY OF TRANSIT
OPTIONS TO ONE SPOT--INCLUDING
ALLOWING DRIVERS TO PARK THEIR
CAR AND JUMP ON THE BUS.
"IMPROVING ACCESS FOR THOSE
THAT WALK, ACCESS FOR THOSE
THAT BIKE, ALLOWING CAR SHARE
MOBILITY, BIKE SHARE AND--OF
COURSE-- THE CONFLUENCE OF
TRANSIT.""ANOTHER HOPE FOR THE
MOBILITY HUB IS THAT IT WOULD
ENTICE RESIDENTS TO CONSIDER
PUBLIC TRANSIT, LIKE THE
METRORAPID, INTO DOWNTOWN
INSTEAD OF DRIVING EVERYDAY."
AMANDA DUGAN: THE MOBILITY HUB
WOULD OFFER AROUND 200 PARKING
SPACES. PLUS PROVIDE A BUS
DRIVER ONLY RESTROOM TO ASSIST
DRIVERS IN STAYING ON SCHEDULE.
CURRENTLY THE AREA IS A
POPULAR SPOT FOR PEOPLE WHO
ARE HOMELESS TO SET UP
SHELTER. PASTOR MARK HILBELINK
OF SUNRISE COMMUNITY CHURCH
THINKS THE MOBILITY HUB MIGHT
DISPLACE SOME OF THEM, BUT
WILL BE BENEFICAL OVERALL FOR
THE HOMELESS. "SOME OF OUR
CHURCHES THAT WE WORK WITH ARE
HELPING HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE NO
LONGER GOING TO BE ON BUS
ROUTES, WHEN THE BUS ROUTES
SHIFT. IT MIGHT CREATE MORE OF
A HUB FOR PEOPLE COMING THRU
IN THIS AREA FOR SERVICES. "
CONSTRUCTION IS EXPECTED TO BE
COMPLETE IN SPRING 2019.
