Description:
The Mobility Authority and TxDOT are proposing to add one-to-two express lanes along approximately eight miles of the south MoPac Expressway from Cesar Chavez Street to Slaughter Lane in Austin, Travis County, Texas. The Mobility Authority and TxDOT launched the environmental study in 2013 to identify a mobility solution to this stretch of congested highway that improves mobility for drivers, transit riders, bicyclists, and pedestrians in a manner that promotes environmental stewardship and sustainability.
This virtual public meeting will share information on the same six express lane(s) operation configuration options that were initially presented for public review and comment in 2015 to re-engage the public as project efforts are resumed after an extended project hold.
Before a Recommended Preferred Alternative is identified, the Mobility Authority and TxDOT are requesting public comments.
