Status The City s Planning, Environmental and Conservation Services Department is currently involved in contract negotiation, expected to be completed this month. The Great Streets Mater Plan will be founded on the vision set forth in the now, Council-adopted, Downtown Austin Design Guidelines of creating a dense, vibrant downtown with a strong sense of place and a strong concern for the public. The Great Streets Master Plan will provide the sorely needed vision of downtown streets and sidewalks that will enable private property owners and public agencies alike to make appropriate streetscape improvements in a more predictable, coordinated and fiscally sensible manner. The Great Streets Master Plan will cover the entire study area and indicate number and width of travel and parking lanes, final locations of bulb-outs, bus platforms, taxi stations, parking and loading spaces, sidewalks, street trees, lighting and traffic signal poles, etc., and especially, curb faces. Develop concept design plans priority Great Streets as determined through the Project process.
Public participation is an important part of the project.
Involve downtown stakeholders and affected agencies throughout the project process. Both a community advisory group and a technical, interagency group will be established to review and provide input on recommendations emerging from the consultant team throughout the project.
