Several railroads were chartered by the Republic of Texas, but the first line built was the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado, which began construction near the Port of Houston Turning Basin in 1851. The BBB&C would become the oldest segment of the country's first transcontinental railroad under sole ownership: the Southern Pacific's Sunset Route, connecting New Orleans and Los Angeles and completed in 1883. By the time oil was discovered near Beaumont in 1901, Houston was such a transportation hub that it became the heart of the petrochemical industry. Houston saw narrow-gauge lines, two interurban lines, light rail, and even a monorail. For many years, the chamber of commerce proudly proclaimed that Houston was the place "where seventeen railroads meet the sea." More than 30 beautiful trains with names like Sunset Limited, Sunbeam, Sam Houston Zephyr, Twin Star Rocket, Bluebonnet, Texas Rocket, and Texas Chief would serve three depots.

Public transportation and infrastructure development continue to be a part of the evolving agenda in growing cities. Despite projects in the past and ongoing efforts, public transportation has been only limited success in its assimilation in the lifestyle of Americans. I take the example of Houston, where there are already existing rail lines through downtown and the existing bus service has just been revamped. In addition, planning efforts towards a bus-oriented Transitway through the Post Oak boulevard project seem to be incorporating transit oriented infrastructure. In this report, I investigate the relationship between transit and development along Houston’s Westheimer Road corridor through analysis of the existing conditions and framework. I assimilate the necessary components to create the structure of a successful project. I do so by researching the existing literature and the best practices to understand the framework and nature of Bus Rapid Transit and its financial implications. Building on those lines, I strategize to create a structure of stakeholder involvement through collaboration to achieve a successful corridor project. In this study, his study, I add on to the ongoing transit oriented development movement in Houston by proposing a Bus Rapid Transit corridor along Westheimer Road. In addition, I propose ose street infrastructure development to support and enhance the quality of the public realm in the corridor. Through this approach I explore the intersection of urban design and transportation planning, and their significance to a holistic approach. Further, I analyze this proposal for financial feasibility through proforma research and corroborating strategies for implementation. Finally, I make the case that to be successful, transit projects need to involve a critical component of design and finance.
