Building Austin: Engaging Residents in Vast City Growth

Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, necessitating robust infrastructure improvements. The “Building Austin” series will spotlight various projects in the vicinity of the event location aimed at enhancing the quality of life for all residents. These projects include the construction of new Fire/EMS stations, parks, libraries, roads, trails, and other essential public amenities. The series will also cover the Corridor Mobility Program, a major initiative focused on improving transportation and mobility throughout the city.

The Corridor Mobility Program, a key component of the 2016 Mobility Bond, is dedicated to improving safety, mobility, and connectivity along Austin’s major corridors. This initiative encompasses a mix of large-scale capital projects and smaller-scale improvements at intersections, signals, and pedestrian and bicycle pathways. Despite challenges such as rising costs and coordination with other departments for infrastructure enhancements, the program remains committed to delivering strategic improvements that minimize public disruptions and maximize community benefits.

Join Us for a Unique Opportunity to Connect

The “Building Austin” series is a public event where community members can engage with City project teams to learn more about Capital improvements shaping Austin’s future. Residents are encouraged to attend, ask questions, and interact directly with those managing the featured projects.

The first session will feature five key projects in proximity of the Airport Boulevard Corridor and E. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Corridor, including the Asian American Resource Center Phase 2 Improvements, E. Braker Lane Extension, and Little Walnut Creek Flood Risk Reduction.

The first “Building Austin” session will take place on Thursday, August 15, 2024, starting at 6:30 p.m. at the City of Austin Permitting and Development Center, located at 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive, Austin, TX 78752. To accommodate all interested participants, the session will be available both in person and virtually.
