The City of Austin is seeking public input on a proposal to “cap and stitch” I-35 through downtown Austin. The goal of the cap and stitch project is to build large decks or caps over the interstate and to widen overpasses above the interstate, creating stitches that improve east to west connectivity for all travelers.
Two surveys are now available at www.austintexas.gov/atxcapstitch.
Plans to cap and stitch the interstate are preliminary, and based upon recommendations from the Urban Land Institute as well as ongoing community engagements. The surveys represent some of the first public input opportunities, and additional opportunities for community feedback will occur in the future.
