New City of Austin Transportation Department to Expand Bike Lanes
According to Austin’s Community Impact Newspaper, the City of Austin has tasked a new City department with studying the impact of adding bike lanes to city streets, to improve transportation flow and decrease the environmental impact of vehicles on the city and its infrastructure.
Creating continuous bike lanes throughout Austin is another project on which Howard Lazarus and Rob Spillar are collaborating, armed with recommendations from the city’s Street Smarts Task Force.
