CapMetro got $1.5M from the feds for something...

The funds, which Rep. Doggett helped secure through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development Planning, will be used in partnership with the City of Austin to coordinate affordable housing and infrastructure development on 5.5 acres of City-owned property adjacent to CapMetro’s Rail Crestview Station. The planning phase will determine how an expansion of the Crestview station will increase ridership as well as potential service impacts, platform design and light rail transit connectivity.

The first part of this quote reads like the money would just go towards the Ryan Drive redevelopment, which makes sense b/c it will need to be heavily subsidized in order to meet the stated affordability goals. But the second part mentions "an expansion" of Crestview Station and I have no idea what that could possibly mean.
