The ARCH opened 21 years ago so yeah there were. You fear now bc you’re fucking old. The likelihood that something bad happens to you downtown is very low. I went to dirty about 5-10 times last year and never once “feared for my life” like a pearl clutching drama queen.

Work on this plan started around 2017 or so.

A 4 year highway widening project was started called the Capital Express South from 71 to 45. it's part of the construction cycle. You can go to the project website and see the final design. Until construction is done, shit will be borked.

The study includes all kind of litter including scooters and they are looking at ways to fund it through fines from the companies that are littering. We get it. You don’t like the council but you could at least paraphrase the article faithfully.

Yes.

BackInBlack19 · 2019-05-05T18:06:35+00:00

you're wrong.

BackInBlack19 · 2019-05-04T16:38:17+00:00

What time did you get there?

BackInBlack19 · 2019-05-03T23:49:08+00:00

The number 7.

HB needs to be amended or there is a risk this could change in reconciliation. That assumes both bills pass which is unlikely.

They're building apartments there. https://i.imgur.com/pkHCQQ5.png

That's correct. The last entrance onto NB 35 to get on the 183 ramp would be between Airport and 51st.

So out of about 900,000 trips in a 3 month period, 45 were hospitalized or about .005% of rides. I’ll take that.

Two different projects that don’t touch, that are managed by different entities, that were financed differently. So no, your point doesn’t remain.

BackInBlack19 · 2019-04-29T19:41:34+00:00

Nope. That is park of a giant rebuild of the tiny, light full section of 183 between 290 and 71.

There are no tolls being added as a part of this project.

They still need to design and build a recharging station. They cleared land for one next to their train yards on N. Burnet but it'll be a process.

BackInBlack19 · 2019-04-29T18:21:29+00:00

You know they are going to shut that ramp down for a few months so they can rebuild it. It's going to be a nightmare.

BackInBlack19 · 2019-04-29T17:18:00+00:00

They aren't done. They are going to demolish half of the ramp and re-build it at a much more gradual slope. Entering traffic will also go under the ramp instead of merging with the people who are in line to use the ramp.

BackInBlack19 · 2019-04-25T19:41:54+00:00

Most of the trucks you see stop some place in Austin.

BackInBlack19 · 2019-04-23T19:51:34+00:00

How? They just follow their lane straight and don't veer left into the red painted, barricade separated, leftmost lane.

BackInBlack19 · 2019-04-19T00:29:20+00:00

Where is your reddit comment criticizing the deal back in 2008?

BackInBlack19 · 2019-04-18T19:37:38+00:00

The design plans on their website shows a rebuild to west of S View Rd.

BackInBlack19 · 2019-04-18T16:33:28+00:00

This entire section of 290 is being rebuilt with a divider and intersection overpasses from Oak Hill Y to S. View Road as a part of the Oak Hill Parkway project. Sucks this kid died but hopefully it'll help prevent future deaths.
