This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

Austin Sidewalk Master Plan

I saw this blog post about Austin's sidewalk master plan:
http://www.austincontrarian.com/austinc … -plan.html

There is an estimated completion budget:

A fraction of the cost of a single freeway interchange!

And I like the comment there from M1EK:

I'd give everywhere in downtown an automatic 50 point boost, personally. It's just incredibly bad PR for Austin to have streets DOWNTOWN without sidewalks.
