Over the past two years, we’ve heard from thousands of community members through polls, online surveys, virtual meetings, and out on the street through our Community Ambassador program. This community input has shaped the draft Urban Trails; Bicycle; and Sidewalks, Crossing, and Shared Streets Draft Plans. Review a complete summary of the equity-centered planning process and public outreach efforts.
Austin Transportation and Public Works has revised the three draft plans based on public input. Links to the three revised draft plans can be found here.
The three revised plans will be packaged with a set of amendments to the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) and presented to the Planning Commission on July 11, 2023. Later this year, a public hearing at City Council will be held, and Council will vote on whether to adopt the final plans. An official notice will be posted before the Council hearing date.
