Improvements to the intersection of Barton Springs Road and South First Street are complete. The project, which started in September 2022, added protected bike lanes, a concrete median, a new bus stop and upgraded signals and pedestrian infrastructure, including high-visibility crosswalks and ADA-compliant curb ramps. Construction was funded by the 2016 mobility bond.
