Worked with the City of Austin to secure a $105M USDOT grant to help fund caps over I-35 from Cesar Chaves to 4th Street. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is planning to reconstruct I-35 through Central Austin as part of the I-35 Capital Express Central Project. Initial plans for the first significant upgrade in 50 years to this approximately 10-mile stretch called for removing the upper decks and lowering the highway between Airport Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Street. As TxDOT considers changes to this major north-south thoroughfare that has divided our community for decades, the Downtown Austin Alliance and the City of Austin have partnered with a diverse group of Austin leaders to co-create a shared vision that builds on this investment to ensure the best outcomes for all Austinites. By transforming I-35 through the heart of our city, we can invest in our community, improve all forms of transportation and create community parks, bridges and other amenities where the highway stands now. The Downtown Austin Alliance is committed to playing an active role in addressing affordability challenges ove the next five years. 2187094 104204 4799 Parks and Public Space Activation, and Homelessness: Completed successful Holiday Stroll and tree lighting event (December 2023) with over 10,000 attendees, including an additional family friendly alley activation with 5,000+ participants.
