Project Background

The City of Austin evaluated Circle S Road as a part of the Local Mobility Program of the 2016 Mobility Bond. This project evaluated road conditions, missing sidewalks, curbs, and drainage elements to enhance mobility and safety for all road users.
Approved by voters in November 2016, the Mobility Bond dedicates $11 million for preliminary engineering on nine substandard streets, including Circle S Road. Substandard streets are publicly owned roadways within the City of Austin’s jurisdiction that do not meet current City of Austin requirements because they have pavement widths that are less than 24 feet and typically lack some curb and gutter, drainage, bicycle accommodations, and sidewalk infrastructure. Funding to design and construct improvements on the substandard streets has not been identified. 

Project Process

This project included a review of existing conditions, such as traffic counts, crash data, and pinch points, as well as a review of constraints, such as right-of-way and utilities, and coordination with the City’s adopted transportation plans and policies. Community engagement was coordinated throughout the project to share information and collect feedback. 
 A Preliminary Engineering Report was completed in early 2019. Currently, there are no construction funds allocated for Circle S Road improvements, but having a Preliminary Engineering Report allows the City to move forward quickly if funding is identified.
Public Meeting 1: March 6, 2018
The Circle S Road project team hosted the first public meeting on March 6, 2018 to get community feedback on Circle S Road's needs and existing conditions. This feedback informed the recommendations we presented in October 2018.
Public Meeting 2: October 16, 2018
The Circle S Road project team hosted the second public meeting on October 16, 2018. The purpose of this meeting was to share recommendations for improvements to Circle S Road and get feedback.
