As most everyone knows by now, the Public Works, Transportation, and Parks and Recreation departments are partnering to design and build a new car-free crossing for the eastern side of Lady Bird Lake near the Longhorn Dam. An upcoming public meeting will give community members an opportunity to get a 30 percent design update and “defining goals for site-specific public artwork for the project,” according to the news release. Civically involved citizens won’t want to miss this chance to weigh in on what has become a very closely watched process to create a very interesting pedestrian bridge. The Zoom meeting is Wednesday, March 9, from 5:30-7 p.m. Register here for the meeting, and check out the Longhorn Dam Bridge virtual open house to brush up on the project’s background.
