Join ATD for a listening session

The Austin Transportation Department is holding a listening session today to let community members get information and offer input on the improvements needed for Cameron Road and Dessau Road from 51st Street to Parmer Lane. Those roads were designated for funding in the city’s 2016 mobility bond, which was aimed at making safety and mobility improvements for major corridors throughout the city. Safety concerns for those roads, which provide access for the Walnut Creek greenbelt and an assortment of local schools and commercial centers, were identified in the Vision Zero Input Map, the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan and the Walk and Bike Talks process. The session also marks the opening of an online survey that runs through Dec. 22, to help decide how to make the best improvements. Attend the listening session today, 6 to 7 p.m., at the Gus Garcia Recreation Center, 1201 E. Rundberg Lane.
