PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING
July 21, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
One Texas Center, 505 Barton Springs Road
BARTON SPRINGS ROAD BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES
The City of Austin, with matching grant funding from the Texas Department of Transportation, is planning to add bike lanes to Barton Springs Road from Rollingwood Dr. to Robert E. Lee Rd. and pedestrian walkways in Zilker Park.
[Note: view this notice in PDF format to see a map detailing the proposed location]
The 5′ bike lanes will be added by widening the existing shoulders of Barton Springs Road where necessary. The 5′ pedestrian walkway will generally parallel Barton Springs Road and meander through the park, providing connections to the McBeth Recreation Center bus stop, several parking lots, and the new pedestrian walkway under the Barton Springs Road Bridge at Barton Creek. This new walkway will be compliant with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation accessibility requirements.
All interested neighborhoods, bicyclists, and park users are invited to attend this informational meeting to learn more about the project.
A second meeting will be held on August 16, 2005 at the same time and location. For more information, contact: Mark Schruben, City of Austin Project Manager, 512-974-7048.
