CMTA Rail Stations, Austin, Texas

---

Garcia Design, Inc. was project landscape architect for Capital Metro’s Leander & Lakeline light rail stations. The design intent was to create a landscape identity for each station. The Leander Station includes a small park & pond for treating storm water runoff, hundreds of native trees, and thousands of clump grasses, a promenade, and a dry creek. The Lakeline Station is long and linear so the challenge was to make a 400 foot long walkway interesting and memorable. The design included large native groundcovers.
