Item 60 No final action

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This resolution would tweak Austin's I-35 Cap and Stitch Program, the effort to build deck parks and connections over the sunken highway as TxDOT rebuilds it. It directs the City Manager to focus funding on two cap-and-stitch improvements that could be finished sooner, coordinate with TxDOT on funding commitments, and reduce the amount of general obligation bonds set aside for the program. The changes shape how much the city commits financially and which pieces of the project move first.

The official agenda language

Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to update the I-35 Cap and Stitch Program to allow funding for the construction of two I-35 Cap and Stitch improvements that can be completed in the near future as well as work with the Texas Department of Transportation on funding commitments and decrease the appropriated amount of general obligation bonds for the Program.
