As part of a pilot project, the city of Austin has completed a new, sustainable sidewalk project on West 25th Street between Seton Avenue and Nueces Street. The project used Flexi-Pave, a material that is less impactful to trees than concrete because it requires less disruption to roots and is permeable, allowing water to flow through and recharge groundwater normally. The project was completed in partnership with University Area Partners.
