Austin City Council approved a series of mobility projects around downtown Austin's Seaholm area on Dec. 14. Those projects include: - Shoal Creek Trail Underpass at the Third Street Bike/Pedestrian Bridge
- Expanded Third Street Bike/Ped Bridge and Study of the Third Street Trestle Bridge
- Third Street and West Avenue intersection improvements
- Sidewalk and trail connectivity along Cesar Chavez Street from B.R. Reynolds Drive to San Antonio Street
- Trail crossings at West Avenue and Walter Seaholm Drive
The projects are funded through the Seaholm Tax-Increment Reinvestment Zone. The recommendations were made through multiple input sessions between Transportation and Public Works (TPW) staff and stakeholders, Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Council representatives, community based non-profit organizations and others.
You can find more details on the projects in a memo TPW Director Richard Mendoza sent to Mayor Kirk Watson and Council. |
