Bicycle Safety and “Superstreets” in Downtown Austin

TxDOT is considering several alternatives for the reconstruction of I-35 through downtown. You may have been following this discussion in the news, most recently with yesterday's front-page story in the Austin-American Statesman

“Superstreets” are a key component of all of TxDOT’s alternatives. These frontage road superstreets are presented as a way to give preference to North-South through traffic; increase speed by 40%; and reduce the number of cross-streets. They describe the project in the following document

But this short-term traffic solution impedes East-West connectivity and poses a threat to active commuters and residents. To read more about superstreets, visit the Reconnect Austin blog

Voice your opinion on this issue at several TxDOT open houses this week, occurring from 3-7 pm at the following dates and locations.
