Project Connect engagement opportunities continue this week

Last week, the community had two opportunities to engage the Orange Line and Blue Line project teams on the design of the two light rail lines coming as part of Project Connect—the ongoing effort to expand public transit in the Austin area.

If you could not attend the March 29 and 31 meetings, you can still submit comments and feedback to Project Connect staff through a virtual open house, available in English and in Spanish

The open house is open through April 29 as the public transit agency approaches a major milestone, 30% design, this summer. Project Connect staff have split the presentation into four themes: connectivity, traffic and transportation, environmental review and anti-displacement strategies and investments. 

Project Connect staff will be holding two more virtual working group meetings in the next week. On Wednesday, April 6, the community meeting will focus on the Orange Line and South Congress Avenue, and on Monday, April 11, the workshop hosted by Council Members Leslie Pool and Chito Vela will focus on Crestview Station.
