Downtown Austin Alliance and TxDOT 1-35 Capital Express Project
In case you are unaware, the Downtown Alliance has been working to get I-35 lowered to build caps and stitches over the interstate, creating additional public and green space downtown. TxDOT just launched its public engagement process for the I-35 Capital Express Project and they have until December 31st to share comments. They want to hear from the community what they desire most from the reconstruction effort.
With the intent to coalesce community desires and develop a shared vision for the project, Downtown Alliance has assembled a diverse coalition of 50+ businesses, neighborhood associations, universities, and property owners. Known as "Our Future 35”, the coalition developed a response for TxDOT, asking that a key focus of the reconstruction project by improving quality of life. They have drafted and generated a letter outlining critical objectives.
Downtown Austin Alliance is asking their partners to share the letter (which is attached, but in editable format through the campaign link) to help get the message to TxDOT.
