As part of a federally funded initiative to improve public transportation infrastructure in San Antonio, this transit center project includes a waiting area, information center, ticket sales office, and other indoor amenities. Phase I renovated the historic International & Great Northern Railroad Depot, previously occupied by Generations Credit Union, into a multimodal transit facility for local bus, Primo, intercity bus, and passenger rail services.
ESP’s San Antonio office (formerly Vickrey & Associates, LLC) provided design documents for reconstruction of the north and south parking lots, including driveways, sidewalks, curbs, and landscape island adjustments. The north parking lot included demolition of the bank drive-through facilities and layout improvements to optimize the number of parking spaces. Our team evaluated ADA parking design and number requirements, site circulation, and access to the building. We also added 12-foot-wide concrete bus pads on the east and west side of Medina Street between Commerce and Houston Streets.
Improvements to the intersection of Buena Vista and Frio Streets included pavement widening along the south side of Buena Vista Street to allow for bus and Primo through traffic. Associated modifications included new and modified traffic signals, signing modifications, adjustment of an existing curb inlet, adjustment of a water line, relocation of a fire hydrant, utility coordination, and replacement of existing curb ramps with ADA-compliant curb ramps and sidewalk.
The project also included approximately six acres of topographic and tree surveys. Construction documents included grading and drainage plans, site dimension plan, storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), traffic signal plans, traffic control phasing plan, tree preservations plan, and utility adjustment plan.
