Background
CAMPO and the City of Georgetown are conducting the Austin Avenue Corridor Study to consider transportation needs and develop a vision and recommendations for areas between Southeast Inner Loop and Northeast Inner Loop. The study will include transportation recommendations that consider various transportation modes such as driving, walking, and biking, and also consider land use recommendations and placemaking opportunities.
Along with the transportation recommendations, the study will build upon existing local and regional plans, guide recommendations for the City’s Downtown Master Plan Update and Future Mobility Plan, and be incorporated into CAMPO’s Long-range Regional Transportation Plan.
