Display boards to visually describe potential improvements and a video explaining how conditions on IH 35 affect the economic and physical health of the region are used in these discussions. Just a few of the organizations met with over the last 12 months include the Hancock Neighborhood Association, St. David's Hospital, The University of Texas, Concordia University, Mueller Neighborhood Coalition, Austin Design Commission, Hyde Park Neighborhood Association, Blackland Neighborhood Association, Austin Hotel Motel Association, Community Alliance of North Hays County, Georgetown Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee, Austin Baptist Ministers Union, Holy Cross Catholic Church, the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Planning Team, Real Estate Council of Austin, 3M, and the Downtown Austin Alliance. The project team also solicits information from knowledgeable business leaders and elected leaders and forwards information to technical team members for project planning purposes. Those expressing an interest in receiving the IH 35 newsletter and other mailings are included on a project database, which has grown to over 5,000 residents. Another important communication avenue is the local media.
Important information is provided to reporters for publication and broadcast.
The project team wants to include all interested citizens and groups. Please get involved and share your ideas. Last updated December 4, 2000.
