The Mobility Committee celebrates the results of its recent advocacy for the Interstate 35 cap and stitch project. Efforts including renderings, public testimony, and an official letter of support from the president of AIA Austin helped to encourage Austin City Council to approve $104 million in funds for necessary roadway elements. These elements will make possible 11 acres of caps as well as two narrower stitches over the future sunken and widened expressway, between Cesar Chavez Street and Airport Boulevard. These interventions will help restitch Austin’s pedestrian fabric, mitigate air and noise pollution, provide new green space and amenities, and encourage adjacent development and investment on both public and private land.
