Good Afternoon:
This is an update on the City of Austin Downtown Bicycle Boulevard Project. Please note that the City Council Briefing on the Downtown Bicycle Boulevard Staff Recommendation will be on June 10th, 2010, and NOT MAY 13, 2010 as originally planned. Also, please note that the City Council does not allow speakers on Briefings.
The last Boards and Commissions briefing will be May 11th, 2010, at the Urban Transportation Commission (UTC), 6 pm at City Hall. It is likely that the UTC will take action on the item at this meeting; they will allow speakers on this item at this meeting.
To date the Downtown Commission, Planning Commission, Design Commission, and the Downtown Austin Alliance Mobility and Streetscapes Subcommittee have unanimously supported the Downtown Bicycle Boulevard Staff Recommendation.
The Downtown Bicycle Boulevard staff recommendation, 3-d rendering of the recommendation, and other information can be found here:
