ATX Walk Bike Roll invites your feedback
Monday, January 30, 2023 by Tai Moses
The Public Works and Transportation departments have just released three draft plans that offer guidance for how the city will build sidewalks, crosswalks, urban trails and bikeways. Community members are invited to review and leave comments on Sidewalks, Crossings, and Shared Streets; Urban Trail; and/or Bicycle draft plans now through March 20. As James Snow, the interim director of Public Works, explained, “Our sidewalks, trails, bikeways, and roads are a direct result of planning decisions that have impacts beyond our travel options. These decisions impact our environment, our health, and our access to resources. These updated plans consider impacts beyond mobility and build upon the past two years of public input. Now it’s time to reflect back what we’ve heard and confirm that we’re on track.” Just select the plan you’d like to comment on from the list here.
