Response:
Thank you for sharing your concerns about bicycle safety along the MoPac frontage road.
The City of Austin Transportation and Public Works (TPW) Department understands your request for a barrier-protected, two-way bicycle lane to provide a safer connection for cyclists traveling through this area.
TPW plans to coordinate with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on a future project along this section of the MoPac frontage road. Since this roadway is under TxDOT jurisdiction, any bicycle lane improvements would require further evaluation and approval from TxDOT.
We appreciate you bringing this safety concern to our attention and helping us identify opportunities to improve bicycle connectivity in Austin.
