Info on Proposition 1 (Bond Transit Proposal)

20th October, 2010 - Posted by katherine - 1 Comment

The Statesman had an article on Monday on Proposition 1, the City of Austin’s proposed $90 million transportation bond issue which includes money for roads, the Lady Bird Lake trail, bike lanes, and sidewalks.  The article covers mostly opponent’s arguments on Proposition 1.  You can also read more about the bond proposal from the city’s website, here.  Check them both out, get informed, and remember to vote! Voter information for Travis County can be found here.

Prop 1 is a modest step in the right direction for a progressive city with a mobility and traffic congestion problem. No single bond proposal is going to “fix” all traffic problems, but Prop 1 combines the right mix of new roads, ADA compliant sidewalks, better bike paths and safer urban trails. We need choices, not just roads. Vote for Prop 1 on Nov 2.
