Austin’s I-35 expansion presents a historic opportunity to reconnect communities and shape our city’s future.

Join our expert panel to explore the newly released Hancock-Cherrywood Vision Plan, a community-initiated effort led by local designers and stakeholders alongside national experts from the Architects Foundation’s Design Assistance Team. Discover how this approach can serve as a powerful model for neighborhood planning citywide.
