The Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority will spend close to $3.5 million to build a new park-and-ride beneath Ben White Boulevard. On Monday, the agency’s board of directors unanimously approved a resolution directing CEO and President Randy Clarke to finalize a contract with G. Hyatt Construction Inc. to build the Westgate Transit Center beneath the elevated highway between Pack Saddle Pass and Manchaca Road. The plans include eight bus bays, room for approximately 200 cars, lighting, landscaping and a restroom for bus drivers.
