The Urban Transportation Commission unanimously recommended the addition of new “vision plans” for the area around two bus park-and-rides operated by Capitol Metro on North Lamar and South Congress boulevards during a meeting on May 6. The Austin Monitor has previously reported on the plans and some local opposition to them as they wind through the digestive tract of city government, with the likely result of being approved. In voting to recommend, the urban transportation commission joins the planning commission, giving the plan an extra boost on its way to a scheduled hearing before council for adoption on May 22.
