8 Mobility
Project Connect, CapEx I-35, and PTMD updates.
Presenter: Mark Thompson, SRCC Mobility Chair
PTMD has settled on design and is rolling out signage – the good news is that City crews will start on Academy Drive, the street most affected by the slow rollout. They will then shift west of S Congress and work through Bouldin down to Johanna. Crews then shift back east and complete the SRCC side before finishing the west side of S Congress from Johanna southward. The entire re-signing process will require six to eight weeks with all parts in place by the end of June. Parking congestion will be reduced once the signwork is complete.
Next meeting, PARD is coming to visit us regarding the conversion of the old Youth Hostel into a boathouse once the current boathouse is booted by Project Connect for a new bridge across Lady Bird Lake.
