Shoal Creek Boulevard

What's Next?

Yesterday's city council voted to do away with the curb extensions. Now what? It's not clear. Here's today's article in the Austin American-Statesman on yesterday's vote. You can find the "closed captioning transcript"   here and read the observations from Allandale's Kerry Kimbrough who attended the session. You can monitor and participate in the discussion on SCB on the Shoal Creek Boulevard listserv.

ANA Resolution to City Council

At the September 28, 2005 General Meeting of the Allandale Neighborhood Association at which approximately 50 residents were present, the following resolution was proposed to the membership by a neighbor and unanimously approved:

 

"Be it resolved that the Allandale Neighborhood Association request City Council to postpone the vote on the Shoal Creek Boulevard Project (Item 38 on the 9/28/05 agenda) and receive citizen input on the restriping of Shoal Creek Boulevard".

 

The Allandale Neighborhood Association is not endorsing any particular plan but is requesting that the Allandale neighborhood be involved in any planning process for Shoal Creek Boulevard, particularly if the curb islands are to be removed.

(This message is also being sent to the Mayor and entire Council.)

Here's a link to a video taken by Jake Knobloch of Monday's Sept. 12th sub committee meeting regarding Shoal Creek   Blvd. To view it, download this video player (DivX Player).

URL: http://www.jakethesnake.net/scb/scb-09122005.avi and click OK. The video is approximately 1 hr and 13 minutes in length. I am unable to help with problems opening/viewing the video, however, it's worth a try because I found the recording of citizen comments and the subcommittee's remarks informative. Thanks to Jake for the submission.

Committee Recommends Removal of Curb Islands

Here's a link to the Statesman's coverage of yesterday's Shoal Creek Transportation Project meeting: "Jackhammers looming over Shoal Creek curb islands."

Speeding on SCB and Stop Signs

I know there was a lot posted on curb extender and speeders on Shoal Creek Blvd.  There have been some questions raised as to what will be APD's response on dealing with the speeders.  There is a plan of action being developed.
