Light rail updates coming March 21
Thursday, March 16, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
Project Connect has been in the news recently, fueled by the hiring of a new leader, budget woes and a leak of maps showing plans have been pared down from original promises. Next week, Austinites will get the chance to sound off on new draft maps, which come with the following warning from the Austin Transit Partnership: “Facing rising costs and supply chain issues affecting communities on a global basis, the Austin Transit Partnership (ATP) is developing a light rail plan to deliver the transit expansion to the community while being mindful of budgetary restrictions.” Feedback on the maps (which have yet to be revealed) kicks off on Tuesday, March 21, with an open house at Austin Central Library from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
