Urban Transportation Commission OKs pair of right-of-way vacations
Tuesday, May 13, 2025 by Miles Wall
Two right-of-way vacations requested by separate developers at a small cul-de-sac called Julieanna Cove near Airport Boulevard and the Colorado River Park Wildlife Sanctuary and at 11632 Saint Thomas Drive in Del Valle, on the southeastern side of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, were granted by the Urban Transportation Commission on May 6, with minimal discussion. Both were proposed to enable redevelopment at the sites, but no specific site plan has been submitted for either. Right-of-way vacations are one area where the commission has final authority, with the power to grant, deny, and hear appeals on cases.
