EVANS; H. SMITH – NAY; 1 VACANCY ON THE COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 27, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: Please refer to attached correspondence from an adjacent property owner. In response to questions asked by an adjacent property owner, Staff looked into whether a potential east-west roadway connection between Bradshaw Road to the east (which provides access to the Bella Fortuna single family subdivision under construction) and the IH 35 frontage road has been studied. A roadway connection through the Cascades at Onion Creek West property to the north and through properties to the east was studied, but determined to be challenging in terms of floodplain and topographical constraints, as well as significant acreage outside of the City limits for planning purposes. To that end, the Travis County Transportation Blueprint, a countywide long-range transportation planning document published in July 2019, does not include a road connection between Bradshaw Road and the 1 of 15B-01 C14-2020-0053 Page 2 IH 35 frontage road, nor does the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan adopted by Council in April 2019.
