Click to View Full-Size Map of Proposition 1 Proposed Mobility Projects
The City of Austin has scheduled a $90 million mobility bond election this November. The proposed projects include both short-term and long-term investments that address City mobility issues. Based on current economic conditions, these bonds can be funded within the City’s current bond capacity and tax rate so no tax increase is required if Proposition 1 is approved by voters.
The City’s mobility priorities include investments in streets, sidewalks, bike paths, trails and transit infrastructure in all parts of Austin.
This proposition would provide funding for preliminary engineering, design, construction and reconstruction of projects to build or rebuild the travel surface, subgrade, and associated infrastructure including storm drains, sidewalks and bikeways where feasible in those streets and/or corridors selected for construction or reconstruction. Some of the City’s priority projects may include, but are not limited to:
