West Bellfort Park and Ride

West Bellfort Park and Ride 11415 Roark Road (at West Bellfort) 77031
The development of a connector trail from Keegans Bayou Trail to the Metro Park and Ride will enable pedestrian and bicycle traffic to have a direct connection to public transportation.

METRO’s buses are equipped with easy-loading bike racks capable of carrying up to two bikes at a time. The multi-usage facility could provide racks to have the option to lock bikes to take buses without a bike, storing it for a return trip.

Public bus riders can connect to downtown Houston, the Texas Medical Center and other major employment centers in the METRO service area. Park & Ride facilities also serve as staging areas for vanpools and carpools. This could potentially reduce traffic volume.

Proposed Improvements

• Shared pedestrian/bike path on Roark Road to Keegans Bayou Trail to improve pedestrian safety and bikeway connectivity
• Expansion and relocation of existing storm water detention

2018 Houston-Galveston Area Council

“A connection from the facility to the Keegans Bayou Trail, in addition to other bicycle and other pedestrian improvements programs will be provided. The West Bellfort Park & Ride facility is often overcapacity on weekdays and results in patrons parking illegally throughout the lot, which creates unsafe conditions for both pedestrians and vehicles.”
