Austin Transportation Plan

23rd March, 2010 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

According to this Chronicle article, the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization has scheduled a series of opportunities for the public to review and comment on its draft 2035 transportation plan.

The article states that as an alternative to urban sprawl, the plan could “direct new density toward live-work-play nodes accessible both by major roads and by expanded transit…As drafted, the multimodal plan includes roadway, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities, supporting a regional goal of reducing vehicle miles traveled and emissions of both air pollutants and greenhouse gases.”

You can read the draft plan here, and attend one of several open houses this week and/or attend a public meeting on April 12th. Check here for more details.
