AUSTIN, Texas - The City of Austin wants your opinion on what 6th Street should look like in the future. It's part of an effort to revitalize the street.
Revitalizing 6th Street
The backstory:
Sixth Street has gone through a lot of changes in the past year, with it opening to cars on weekend nights. Barriers for separating pedestrians from traffic have changed from white fencing to water-filled blockades to now concrete barriers.
Now, in an online survey , the city wants your feedback on three design options. Each looks different for bike lanes, pedestrian space, and curb access (for drop-offs, deliveries, etc.). They all keep 6th Street one-way for cars.
The options build on the recommendations in the Austin Core Transportation Plan and in collaboration with Great Streets.
