Weigh in on Burnet
Friday, June 25, 2021 by Chad Swiatecki
The city is seeking feedback from the community on roadway improvements along Burnet Road as part of the ongoing Corridors For Complete Communities program, which is tied to the 2016 bond that provided $720 million for mobility and roadway improvements to high-priority transit corridors around the city. The online survey asks respondents about their preferences for preservation and improvements on Burnet, with most attention paid to the intersection with Braker Lane that serves as a major access point to gathering places such as the Domain and Q2 Stadium, home of the Austin FC soccer team. The city expects to spend between $45 million and $55 million on the section of Burnet Road between Koenig Lane and MoPac Expressway, with special attention also paid to the intersections with Gault Lane, Esperanza Court and Kramer Lane. The survey is open until July 7.
