Houston City Council on Wednesday agreed to buy the Metropolitan Transit Agency's Heights Transit Center for $1.4 million to convert it into park space.

The 0.8819-acre tract is at 6000 N. Main St., an area the city's 2015 parks master plan identified as lacking both park space and available land for purchase. Metro no longer uses the site, which sits at the northern edge of the intersection of Calvalcade, North Main and Studemont, as a transit center.
