Share your thoughts on Barton Springs Road project
Thursday, June 8, 2023 by Tai Moses
Have some thoughts about the city’s proposal to make some changes to Barton Springs Road? The project, to take place between Stratford Drive and South Lamar Boulevard over a yearlong period, would “enhance safety for everyone on Barton Springs Road, including the most vulnerable road users, such as people dining outdoors, walking, bicycling or riding a scooter,” according to the Transportation Department. Proposed changes include providing one lane in each direction between Azie Morton Road and South Lamar Boulevard “to improve safety and multimodal facilities”; providing additional lanes at the intersections of South Lamar Boulevard and Azie Morton Road; connecting “a future continuous ADA-accessible pedestrian route from Barton Springs Bridge to Stratford Dr. along the north side of Barton Springs Road”; upgrading bike lanes and making them wider; and shortening the pedestrian crossings on Barton Springs Road. Learn more at the virtual open house, and leave your feedback in the survey.
