ULI Austin: November Virtual Breakfast - I-35 Cap & Stitch
REGISTRATION HAS ENDED FOR THIS EVENT.
As TxDot moves forward with plans to expand I-35 in Downtown Austin, efforts continue to develop a plan for a cap-and-stitch project. The I-35 corridor has both figuratively and literally divided the Austin community for multiple generations, contributing to the socio-economic disparity of our city that only continues to grow as East Austin neighborhoods continue to face gentrification challenges.
In February, a ULI Americas Advisory Services Panel made recommendations to TxDOT, the city of Austin and the Downtown Austin Alliance on capping the I-35 freeway and ensuring a more integrated approach to corridor planning. The panel will discuss what is needed for a successful cap-and-stitch plan to serve as an important step toward addressing our City’s history of segregation.
For more info on the project visit Downtown Austin Alliance's website. To provide community input visit Our Future 35.
