South Congress Avenue at Monroe Station

Central city neighborhood station and avenue uplift (Urban Design Associates)

This South Congress station is proposed at Monroe Street to serve the Texas State School for the Deaf, Fulmore Junior High, and the Travis Heights neighborhood. Transfers to Capital Metro's crosstown and neighborhood feeder lines will be available at Monroe Station. The light rail line runs down the median of the avenue, just as the old streetcars that brought the original residents to their railway-developed Travis Heights subdivision. Vacant parcels on both sides of Congress could develop as residential over retail, complementing the existing small-scale, mixed-use character of the avenue.
