AIA Austin Advocacy Roundtable: What’s Next for Austin’s Streets?

Austin’s rapid growth is often viewed as redeveloped neighborhoods and new high-rises, but upcoming projects promise to reshape how we experience and move through central Austin, with $25 billion in infrastructure and transportation investments planned for downtown Austin alone. Join us for a discussion on what’s coming – from vast projects like I-35 and Project Connect to iconic streets like Congress Avenue and a new Green Infrastructure toolkit. We’ll also take a deeper dive into ongoing advocacy around I-35, including deck parks (cap & stitch), pedestrian improvements along frontage roads, and stitches connecting the Cherrywood and Hancock neighborhoods.

Panelists:

• Jim Walker – Director of Sustainability at UT Austin, Chair of the Cherrywood Neighborhood Association
• Jana McCann, FAIA – CEO of McCann Adams Studio
• Michael Hsu, AIA – Chair of the AIA Austin Mobility Advocacy Committee
