Texas legislators are considering House Bill 3893, which would lease the underground portion of State property to Capital Metro in order to build two underground stations for the light rail system approved by Austin voters.
The House Land and Resource Management Committee will hold a public hearing on the bill Tuesday morning.
HB 3893, filed by Rep. Gina Hinojosa (D-49), would grant a 99-year lease to Capital Metro for the subsurface portion of the property at Republic Square and Brush Square Park, which is where the Republic Square Station and Downtown Station are planned. It would also allow the transit agency to build the underground tunnel that has been shown in renderings, including all the billboards and stores, according to the representative’s office.
