A speed mitigation meeting was held with the city of Austin’s ATD (Austin Transportation Department) on Sunday 9/24/2017 at 4:30pm at the Balcones Country Club. Atendees spanned the Mountain, Balcones Village/Spicewood, the Enclave, and perhaps Spicewood Estates. Approximately 75 people attended.
See the two files attached for the presentation from ATD and the presentation from me representing the multi-neighborhood survey and requests.
The short summary of the meeting is:
From ATD:

We’ve come a long way in our efforts to finally get much delayed safety improvements to Anderson Mill Road (between 183 and 620). We started by calling 311 to report problem areas, speaking up at District 6 town halls and posting our concerns on the Mobility ATX Forum which included Anderson Mill Road as one of the top 5 traffic concerns in the report this group delivered to the City of Austin in 2016.
And, most important, the City of Austin included over $5 million for improvements to this section of Anderson Mill Rd in the 2016 Mobility Bond proposal which was approved by voters in November.
Now, we have an opportunity to both hear from and provide feedback to city traffic engineers and our District 6 City Councilman, Jimmy Flannigan about plans for spending this bond money.
Please join us at the Anderson Mill Road Public Meeting on Saturday, March 11th from 10 am – noon at Spicewood Elementary School, 11601 Olson Drive. Invite your neighbors and friends!
