Manor at Rogge NB in Austin, TX

MetroRapid Expo BRT, filed under the specific name Manor at Rogge NB, is a completed new construction project located at 5618 1/2 Manor Road in Austin, Texas. The work involved sidewalk and bus stop improvements covering a total area of 3,000 sq ft. This project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in November 2022, documenting the accessibility standards applied to the site within the Pecan Springs-Springdale area of Travis County.

Project Scope and Ownership

CapMetro, the owner of record, commissioned this work with an estimated cost of $200,000. This figure equates to $67 per square foot, a rate below the Travis County median for similar new construction filings. The design firm of record is ATG, which has registered several other bus stop projects in Austin. The project utilized public funds and was situated on public land, ensuring compliance with federal accessibility requirements for transit infrastructure.

Construction began in September 2022, as stated in the official filing. The scheduled completion date was March 2025, and the final inspection passed in that same month. The TDLR record shows that the agency closed the project file in January 2026, marking the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. This status confirms that the physical improvements to the bus stop and sidewalk are officially finished and have passed all necessary regulatory checks.

Local Context and Nearby Activity

The site is situated in a neighborhood with a diverse mix of local businesses, including a Shell gas station, a Cricket Wireless retailer, and the Islamic Center of Greater Austin. According to U.S. Census estimates for the 78723 ZIP code, the area has a population of about 37,000 with a median household income of $81,986.

City of Austin permit records indicate an electrical permit issued at this street address in August 2025 for the Manor at Rogge stop. This aligns with the timeline of the final inspection and project closure. While other projects in the area, such as the Blanton Elementary School renovation, have different scopes, this specific filing focuses exclusively on transit accessibility. The completion of this work contributes to the broader MetroRapid Expo BRT network, enhancing pedestrian access for riders in the Springdale corridor.
