The MoPac South Expansion project would cover about eight miles and proposed adding express lanes in both directions, from Cesar Chavez to Slaughter.
Commissioners Court received an update from the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority about the MoPac South Expansion project.
The project would cover about eight miles and proposed adding express lanes in both directions, from Cesar Chavez to Slaughter. "Right now, it's congestion, but I come from Los Angeles, so I grew up with congestion. It's not as bad as LA, but it's getting close, it seems like it's getting a little worse as time goes on," said driver Steve Babyak.CapMetro, Austin Transit Partnership, and the City of Austin officially approved phase one of Project Connect. The proposed light rail line will connect several areas throughout central Austin.
"We are also members of this community. As a regional agency our leadership and our staff live here, we drive the same roads, we bike the same trails, we swim in the same waters, and we drink the same water. It's why our public engagement is and will be focused on group thinking, the best way to protect and preserve these resources while balancing the need for improved infrastructure," James Bass, executive director of CTRMA, said in the work session.
"I really want us to try to get to the point where we can all say with confidence, we have done absolutely everything we can to protect the environment, protect our water quality, protect our groundwater and our springs," Brigid Shea, who represents precinct 2, said.
