Downtown Austin Plan – Mobility Workshop 5:30pm

The Phase One Report of the Downtown Austin Plan identified access to and mobility within Downtown as one of the most significant challenges facing Downtown Austin. On Tuesday night at 5:30pm, ROMA Design Group, the lead consultant for the Downtown Austin Plan, will present the findings so far of its study of Downtown mobility, potential public transit connections within Downtown, and potential public transit connections between Downtown and other significant destinations in Austin.

Plus, if our exhausting without being exhaustive City Council election coverage has only aroused your appetite for civic rhetoric without bedding it back down, the Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association (DANA) is hosting a City Council candidate forum Wednesday, April 23, 2008. The forum will take place at the Austin Club (110 E. 9th Street, between Congress and Brazos) between 6:30 and 9 pm. Panelists will ask questions on such issues as transportation, residential density, park vitality, affordable housing, noise disturbances, and historic preservation.
