•The Problem with Widening Highways in US Cities – And Why It Continues
63% Informative
Austin is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the US thanks to a booming tech sector.
I-35 , which cuts right through Austin , is the most congested roadway in the state.
The Texas Department of Transportation plans to add 2 managed lanes, meaning high occupancy vehicle or carpool lanes, through the central city.
Austin residents won't see any benefits from widening I-35 because they could just go on surface streets or take alternative modes to get where they need to go.
The highway really benefits suburban commuters, people moving throughout the metro area.
Rethink 35 and other community partners are doing a great job of organizing this resistance.
