Participants agreed that the community has to decide whether the priority is moving traffic through Downtown or making Downtown the destination. Destination Downtown requires slower, calmer traffic and more focus on pedestrians within Downtown. Austin needs political leadership to guide traffic changes through the inevitable controversy. It was also noted that two-way traffic is only one technique for traffic calming. The major centers of the University, the Capital complex, and the Downtown core are not fully connected.
Dillo service needs to be more frequent and more reliable.
All modes of transit use need to be integrated with the 'Dillo system. Perhaps a Downtown free fare zone should be implemented. Linkages also depend on the pedestrian environment. Streetscapes need to shelter pedestrians from the sun, protect them from traffic, and invite them to walk. Basic accessibility for all in the Downtown pedestrian environment is essential.
