LEANDER, Texas - CapMetro and local leaders cut the ribbon in Leander Wednesday on a $6.88 million "double-tracking" project, the first to be completed under the Project Connect transit expansion plan. "It's transformational and just the very first tip of the iceberg," said CapMetro board member Eric Stratton. Double-tracking is exactly what it sounds like. After a year of construction, the roughly 15-mile section of the Red Line from Leander to Lakeline now has two tracks instead of just one. "These improvements to the red line are crucial component of the project vision and will benefit the community starting today," said Veronica Castro de Barrera, chair of the Austin Transit Partnership.
