Downtown/Midtown Transit Streets Program
Houston, Texas

The Downtown/Midtown Transit Streets project is rebuilding 20 transit streets, adding bus shelters, information kiosks, enhanced lighting and improved storm drainage. Artists involved in the project, Rachel Hecker, Benito Huerta, Lorenzo Thomas and Richard Turner have designed elements including a new bus shelter, information kiosks, patterned sidewalk inlays, and granite pavers etched with excerpts from poems by Texas authors, in addition to other functional enhancements.
