Candidates Forum & N Lamar/Burnet Study - April 18th, 7pm-8:30pm

I am sure you are aware that we had a bicylist killed on North Lamar in March.

What you may not know is that the North Austin Coalition of Neighborhoods and Substainable Neighborhoods have been trying to get the fixes suggested by the recent North Lamar/Burnet Study on the November bond package. 

Short version: These roads serve 150,000 people, as well of 3 of the 6 bus routes with the highest ridership. The study showed there was 770 accidents on North Lamar and 440 accidents on Burnet, in a two year period.

long version:

We will be hosting the North Austin Candidates Forum, St. Albert's Church on Metric Blvd, April 18th. We willask those running for Mayor and City Council to speak to us about North Austin's issues.

Info on the North Lamar/Burnet Transportation Study will be available as well.

The doors will open at 6:30pm, so there will be time to look at the Study before the forum starts at 7pm. The forum is scheduled to end at 8:30, but we have the hall until 10pm, so people can stay and take a second look at the Study.

We really, really need bicyclists there for two reasons:

One, these two roads are dangerous and need to be fixed.

Two, we need to hear what parts of the study are most important to bicylists.
