City of Austin proposes to spend $4 million for bike bridge over Barton Creek at MoPac.

The people in charge of transportation around here are going to make a decision about tollways in a couple of months, and you can be sure that it will get a lot of attention.

But further down in the big stack of documents dropped in the lap of the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization board a few weeks ago was a non-toll-road project that caught my eye: The City of Austin would like to spend $4 million to build a bicycle bridge. The CAMPO board probably will vote on this project when it decides what to do about five potential toll roads.
