BIKE: Travis Hts. Neighborhood Traffic Calming Plan (Status Update)

[Stuart Werbner]

Fellow Cycling/Pedestrian Advocates:

I have some good news regarding the Travis Hts. Neighborhood Traffic Calming 
Plan (NTCP) which was approved by neighborhood residents in 12/2001. For 
those unfamiliar with the neighborhood, this area in S. Austin is bordered 
by Riverside Dr., I-35, Oltorf, and S. Congress.

At the present time, most of the plan, which completely utilizes speed 
cushions, has been implemented. There are now speed cushions on the 
following neighborhood roadways: Travis Hts. Blvd, E. Live Oak, Alta Vista, 
Eastside Dr, E. Monroe, Kenwood Dr., Glendale Pl., and Rebel.

I will contact Richard Kroger regarding the status of planned cushions for 
Algarita -- I believe this is the last roadway in the plan still unaccounted 
for.

My thanks to Richard Kroger (COA Transportation Staff -- S. Austin region), 
to my fellow members of the Travis Hts. NTCP Working Group who worked hard 
to develop and lobby the final plan, to the SRCC Neighborhood Assoc., and to 
all the residents of the Travis Hts. neighborhood who voted to approve the 
plan with 60+% approval, and who have endured years of excessive speeding by 
neighborhood and cut-through traffic.
