Dec. 2019: Project open house

Preliminary Designs
Project background and goals
The City of Austin’s Corridor Program Office published the South Pleasant Valley Road Corridor Mobility Plan in June 2020, which details short and long term solutions for South Pleasant Valley Road.
Austin Transportation is evaluating near-term improvements to provide a protected bikeway and improved pedestrian crossings along the corridor. The proposed changes are expected to:
- Improve predictability and safety for everyone using the street by providing protected space for people bicycling
- Reduce crashes for all modes
- Encourage slower motor vehicle speeds and reduce high-risk speeding
- Shorten crossing distances for people walking
- Maintain comparable motor vehicle travel times
Funding
Funding for these near-term improvements is available from the 2016 Mobility Bond Bikeways and Safe Route to School programs, the 2018 Bond Pedestrian Crossing program, Capital Metro and the City of Austin’s Quarter Cent program.
