Vision Zero approved by Council
Friday, May 20, 2016 by Elizabeth Pagano
As of Thursday, Austin has a Vision Zero Action Plan. City Council approved the plan in a vote of 7-1-2, with Council Member Don Zimmerman voting in opposition, Council members Ora Houston and Ellen Troxclair abstaining and Council Member Greg Casar absent. For extensive background on the plan, we recommend KUT’s series Road to Zero. Or, for the more studiously minded, the complete report can be found here.
