Background
CAMPO and the City of Georgetown conducted 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 included transportation recommendations that consider various transportation modes such as driving, walking, and biking, and also considered land use recommendations and placemaking opportunities.
Along with the transportation recommendations, the study built upon existing local and regional plans, guides recommendations for the City’s Downtown Master Plan Update and Future Mobility Plan, and has been incorporated into CAMPO’s Long-range Regional Transportation Plan.
