Stassney Lane keeps getting better

A new phase of construction beginning in October will bring more improvements to South Austin’s Stassney Lane. According to the city’s Transportation Department, this next phase of updates will “make it easier to cross the street, improve access to transit, provide protected space for people bicycling and improve overall intersection operations for everyone.” The work is happening at Stassney’s intersections with Lewood Drive, Buffalo Pass, Emerald Forest Drive, South First Street and South Congress Avenue. The project will last about three months. Then phase three starts in 2022, bringing even more improvements to the intersections.
