SoCo PTMD Bouldin Creek Stakeholder Meeting
Tuesday March 25th, 6:00 PM, Twin Oaks Library
———
After completing its first full year of operations, the SoCo PTMD will begin submitting proposals to the Transportation and Public Works Department for safety projects that will improve safety on our streets.
Applications for requested installations are made to the SoCo PTMD Oversight Committee and Austin Transportation Department in April for high priority projects. Proposed projects are funded from the allocation of BCNA SoCo PTMD parking receipts and possible matching funds from City Departments.
