Referred to 311 For Further Review - Close SR. Spoke with Ms. Heep, she is not requesting a curb ramp. She mentioned that her curb was cut to access a water main and was patched up but is now eroding. She also mentioned that the manhole cover is making sounds every time it's being driven over causing a potential hazard. Please forward to SBO Utility Cut for contact and resolution.

Provided Information to Requester - Close SR. Emailed the following: Thanks for your inquiry about sidewalks along E CESAR CHAVEZ ST. Unfortunately, there are over 700 miles of absent sidewalks and curb ramps in Austin and current funding is only sufficient to construct around 30 miles of sidewalks and curb ramps per year. Sidewalk and curb ramp projects are selected based on the Council adopted Sidewalks, Crossings, and Shared Streets Plan (see link below). Sidewalks along E CESAR CHAVEZ ST are not on the list of funded projects at this time but will continue to be identified as planned but unfunded until such time as additional resources are available to complete construction.   Link to the Council adopted 2023 Sidewalks, Crossings, and Shared Streets Plan: https://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Transportation/Adopted 2023 Sidewalks Crossings and Shared Streets Plan_without Appendices.pdf As there is a tremendous demand for sidewalks and curb ramps (it is currently estimated that there is approximately $1 billion in new sidewalk construction needed citywide) it is necessary for us as a City to determine priorities for limited resources. A prioritization matrix was developed as part of the Sidewalk Plan to assist in making decisions for sidewalk and curb ramp installation based on a variety of factors which include:   How far is it to schools, major employers, transit stops, government offices, public accommodations, and public housing? How many people live in the area? Are there already existing sidewalks in the area? Is the request made by the ADA task force? How busy is the street? Have there been reported pedestrian safety concerns   These criteria are explained in the prioritization matrix in Appendix F of the 2023 Sidewalks, Crossings, and Shared Streets Plan (see link above). Using this decision matrix, the program's limited budget is used to achieve maximum benefits.  A map of currently funded projects is available as part of the Mobility Annual Plan: https://data.austintexas.gov/stories/s/Mobility-Annual-Plan/2xkd-czyh/.   The Safe Routes To School Program also funds new sidewalks to assist students in safely walking and biking to school. For more information, please visit: https://www.austintexas.gov/saferoutes.   City staff are working to keep Austin moving through recent mobility-bond funded initiatives. Austin Mobility Bond Programs is your go-to source for details on how you can get involved, follow the investments made with your tax dollars, and keep up with the development of these historic bond investments. We value your input and thank you for your interest in improving Austin's neighborhoods. We encourage you to check out the recent Sidewalk Plan update process as part of ATX Walk Bike Roll (https://www.austintexas.gov/department/atx-walk-bike-roll) and we will add your site to the list of sidewalk requests.

Provided Information to Requester - Close SR. Emailed the following: Hello, and thank you for contacting the City of Austin. Driveways are not maintained by the City of Austin because they are only used for personal egress and ingress. If the landowner chooses to address the concern, a Right-of-Way Excavation Permit is required, which requires City-licensed, bonded contractors. For more information, call the ROW office at 512-974-7828 or visit https://www.austintexas.gov/department/right-way-row-permits. We cannot recommend a contractor; however, please keep in mind that the following list includes all City-approved contractors, not just concrete contractors (I have noticed that many of them have concrete in their name, but some others may also perform concrete flatwork projects.) If you have any questions that aren't answered on the website, there's a phone number on the Permit Information link below: https://austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Transportation/Right_of_Way/Right of Way Contractors.pdf.
