Don’t be a drag on the Drag
Wednesday, December 8, 2021 by Tai Moses
Project Connect’s Orange Line is coming to the Drag, the section of Guadalupe Street that runs along the west boundary of the UT campus. Not anytime soon, of course – the light rail lines are still in the design phase. But it’s the perfect time to give community input on the rail line as well as the bicycle and pedestrian facilities that will accompany the Orange Line. You can attend a design workshop today, Dec. 8, from noon-1:30 p.m. at the William C. Powers Student Activity Center, 2201 Speedway. Lunch will be provided at the workshop, which is open to UT students, faculty, staff and members of the public. If you can’t make it in person, a virtual workshop will be held at 5:30 p.m. Register for both events here.
