New Rail Stations Coming To Booming Burnet/Gateway Corridor In Austin

Capital Metro and the City of Austin are attempting to keep up with the population growth and new business headquarters coming to the North Burnet/Gateway corridor with two new rail stations in Austin.

The MetroRail Kramer Station could be taken offline and new stations constructed in the Broadmoor Development and McKalla Place.

If conversations that Capital Metro officials are having about public-private partnerships move forward, the McKalla Place station would open in 2021 on the Red Line near the city’s future major league soccer stadium.

Austin city officials said they are contributing $53 million from 2016 mobility bonds to fund improvements to paths, crosswalks, traffic signals and bus stops along the Burnet Road corridor that are scheduled from 2021 to 2024.
