To: From: Date: MEMORANDUM City of Austin Design Commission Jon Salinas – Chair Josue Meiners – Vice Chair Eric Bailey, Capital Delivery Services Deputy Director April 21, 2026 Subject: Barton Springs Road Bridge Design Commission Withdraw The purpose of this memorandum is to withdraw Item 2 (Staff briefing regarding the Barton Springs Road Bridge) from the 4/27/26 Design Commission agenda. Background and Context On December 14, 2023, after an extensive public outreach and preliminary engineering process, City Council directed Capital Delivery Services Staff to proceed with the replacement alternative for the Barton Springs Road Bridge. Since 2023, staff advanced the design and permitting of the new structure and was awarded a $32 million Federal Bridge Improvement Program grant for construction. The grant requires the project undertake the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process in addition to the regular City permitting process which requires review from several boards and commissions, including the Design Commission. Unfortunately staff is unable to present at the 4/27/26 Design Commission due to a scheduling conflict. Next Steps Staff requests a postponement of the staff briefing to the May 18, 2026 Design Commission meeting. Staff will return to the Design Commission as the NEPA process continues with input from federal agencies and public comment. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Eric Bailey, Deputy Director of Austin Capital Delivery Services, at Eric.Bailey@austintexas.gov or (512) 974-7713. cc: Chad Sharrard, Design Commission Liason

Additional design standards may be added in the future. If additional design standards are added to the menu, the minimum number of standards that must be met may be modified.

Mobility includes building wealth and long-term stability for future generations. Education, health, housing, childcare, and strong social conditions enable families to thrive. In Austin, persistent disparities limit opportunities, but a person’s future shouldn’t be determined by their neighborhood or systemic barriers.

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL LGBTQ Quality of Life Commission Recommendation Number: xxxxxx__-___: Bettie Naylor Street Safety Corridor Date of Approval: [Insert Date] ⸻ Recommendation The LGBTQ Quality of Life Commission recommends that the Austin City Council direct the City Manager to immediately establish a Bettie Naylor Street Safety Corridor by permanently restricting general vehicular traffic on West Fourth Street between Colorado Street and Lavaca Street, except for emergency vehicles and permitted commercial deliveries, and to implement coordinated safety mitigation, infrastructure, and venue preplanning measures. Description of Recommendation to Council 1. Austin Incident and Proximity Risk On March 1, 2026, a mass shooting occurred in Austin's West Sixth Street entertainment district, resulting in multiple fatalities and numerous injuries. Public reporting indicates that the suspect drove repeatedly around the block prior to initiating gunfire from a vehicle. The LGBTQIA+ venue The Iron Bear, located at Sixth Street and Lavaca Street, sits approximately four blocks from the incident location. Numerous LGBTQIA+ bars, theaters, bookstores, and community gathering spaces operate along and adjacent to West Fourth Street in close proximity. No permanent vehicle mitigation or corridor restriction measures have been implemented on Bettie Naylor Street following this incident. 2. National Precedent and Foreseeable Risk On January 1, 2025, a vehicle-ramming attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans killed at least 14 people and injured dozens more. Federal authorities investigated the incident as terrorism and national security experts emphasized the vulnerability of dense entertainment corridors to hostile vehicle attacks. More than one year has passed since that incident. The March 1, 2026 Austin shooting further demonstrates vehicle-enabled reconnaissance behavior in a similar nightlife environment. These events reflect established attack patterns involving: ● Firearms and/or knife attacks at entertainment venues; ● Hostile vehicle use in pedestrian corridors; ● Rapid attacker scenarios in nightlife districts. These risks are documented and foreseeable. 3. Bettie Naylor Street Designation Between Congress Avenue and Rio Grande Street, West Fourth Street is designated Bettie Naylor Street, a historic and internationally recognized LGBTQIA+ entertainment and business district. This corridor serves as a cultural, civic, and economic asset for the City of Austin and attracts visitors nationally and internationally. 4. Permanent Vehicle Restriction and Infrastructure The Commission recommends: 1. Permanent restriction of general vehicular traffic on West Fourth Street between Colorado Street and Lavaca Street; 2. Continuous emergency vehicle access; 3. Scheduled, time-windowed commercial deliveries administered by Austin Transportation and Public Works; 4. Installation of …
