Access is controlled by placing restrictions on use. – Reconstruct ramps, bridges and intersections. – Improve frontage roads. – Enhance bicycle and pedestrian paths. – Accommodate transit routes. Estimated construction cost: $4.9 billion Anticipated construction start: 2025 Mobility Committee Presentation Sept. 9, 2021 10 Where We Are in the Process Mobility Committee Presentation Sept. 9, 2021 11 I-35 is Outdated Annual average daily traffic along I-35 from US 290 East to SH 71/Ben White Boulevard includes more than 200,000 vehicles. By 2045, it is expected to grow to more than 300,000 vehicles. 82% of vehicles on I-35 are LOCAL travelers 11% of vehicles on I-35 are THROUGH travelers The CRASH RATE is above average for similar state roads Through TRUCK traffic makes up approximately 7% of all traffic. In 2019, there were 1,132 crashes in the project area resulting in 8 fatalities. Another 21 crashes were severe. Source: TxDOT Statewide Traffic Crash Rates for Urban Interstates 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Data for the I-35 Central project from TxDOT (2020). Mobility Committee Presentation Sept. 9, 2021 12 The Problem We’re Trying to Solve PURPOSE The purpose of the proposed project is to improve this critical local, regional, national and international thoroughfare by: • Enhancing safety within the corridor. • Addressing demand by prioritizing the movement of people, goods and services through and across the corridor. • Improving operational efficiency. • Creating a more dependable and consistent route for the traveling public, including bicyclists, pedestrians, emergency responders and transit. NEED I-35 between US 290 East and US 290 West/SH 71 does not: • Adequately accommodate current and future travel demand. • Meet current federal and state design standards. This has resulted in safety and operational deficiencies, which can impact: • Crash rates along the corridor. • Peak period travel times for all users, including emergency response vehicles and transit. Congestion along I-35 through Central Austin.

Mobility Committee Presentation Sept. 9, 2021 15 We’re Listening Comment Themes from Virtual Scoping Meeting #1 and #2 3,700+ public and agency comments received Consider additional design alternatives that include deck plazas, or caps, and cross street amenities. Explore financing options, including fee-managed lanes. Analyze climate change and greenhouse gases. Thoroughly analyze community concepts, including proposals by Reconnect Austin, the Urban Land Institute recommendations and Rethink35. De-emphasize vehicles and vehicular travel time and emphasize throughput of people. Consider community, heath, employment, access and cultural impacts of the project design and construction. Evaluate impacts to community health and equity. Support and facilitate enhanced transit operations and connections. Prioritize safety, for bicyclists and pedestrians as well as vehicles. Divert trucks to SH 130 or other corridors. Evaluate safety, mobility and the quality of improvements for people walking, using bicycles or transit. Address air quality. Acknowledge the history. Align with local plans. Mobility Committee Presentation Sept. 9, 2021 How We’re Responding AND… Bicycle and pedestrian enhancements including 20-foot buffers and 10-foot shared-use paths. WE ARE PROPOSING • Lowered travel lanes. • More than 15 widened east-west crossings, including a new connection at 5th Street for all users; and new pedestrian crossings at the Cap Metro Red Line/Future Gold Line south of Airport Boulevard, and between 51st Street and US 290 E. • Low design speeds on frontage roads. • Enhanced person-carrying capacity along the corridor by providing a reliable route for transit in managed lanes. TxDOT will also be evaluating frontage road relocation concepts and will present findings at an upcoming community meeting.
