The City of Austin has recently announced plans to improve mobility around Zilker Park and Botanical Garden. The project will include the installation of improved sidewalks, bike lanes, and a shared-use path. These improvements will help ensure that the area is safe and accessible to all users.
The project will also include the installation of curb extensions at the intersection of Barton Springs Road and Stratford Drive to help reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians. Additionally, the project will include the installation of speed cushions and a raised crosswalk at the intersection of Stratford Drive and Toomey Road.
The project is part of the city’s larger effort to improve overall mobility in Central Austin. The city is also working on a number of other projects, including the installation of new bike lanes on Lamar Boulevard and the construction of a new bridge over Lady Bird Lake.
These improvements will help make the area safer and more accessible for everyone. They will also help create a more vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere in Central Austin.
