The Statesman covers our lawsuit against TxDOT: “TxDOT is claiming that these three sections [of I-35] are ‘independent utilities’... We are crying foul on that claim. This is obviously one massive highway widening project." 🧐 statesman.com/story/news/loc…

Proposal also redundant to Blue Line terminus at NLTC as it interlines with Orange in voter-approved #ProjectConnect map. Changes would direct Gold Line high capacity transit toward West Austin and away from potential northeast Austin extensions, termini & those communities. 4/4
The concern is that this redundancy, that is serving the same corridor and same phase one terminus of the Orange Line, may effectively capture 2,700 trips which would enhance the Gold Line's FTA project rating at the expense of previously-planned, voter-approved FTA projects. 3/

Koenig Lane opened on what was supposed to be the “Koenig Freeway”, until neighborhood opposition led to its cancellation in 1994. The freeway-sized right-of-way was still visible until the land was sold off; much of it being developed into homes for hundreds of Austinites.

The Crosstown Expressway and the Central Expressway would have connected MoPac with I-35 and the unbuilt Koenig Freeway. Had it built, it would have changed the urban fabric of Austin forever.
