Vice Chair Schumacher moved the commission’s recommendation during the meeting; the motion passed unanimously after successive, targeted amendments by commissioners.

The commission’s adopted recommendations include the following key points:

- Study 801/803 alignment options through 2030: the UTC asked CapMetro to continue studying whether the 801/803 local routes should pivot to an eastern downtown corridor (for example, San Jacinto east of Congress) or funnel into light‑rail service at the rail termini, and to analyze which option best serves transit‑dependent riders near North Lamar and South Congress. The commission asked staff to ensure any alignment provides short, reliable transfers for light‑rail passengers who continue onto the 801 or 803.

- Address domain/Uptown access gaps: in the northwest area the commission recommended CapMetro consider offsetting the removal of Route 466 (a former circulator) by adding or expanding neighborhood pickup or circulator service connecting residential centers to the Domain, UptownATX and major employment destinations.

- Airport link and schedule coordination: the UTC asked CapMetro to amend the 5‑ to 10‑year network to include an express airport connection from either Pleasant Valley Station or Yellowjacket Station with frequencies that match the light‑rail timetable. The commission also asked CapMetro to study eliminating duplicative local 20 service (Riverside) to help fund the express airport link, while recognizing any removal should be examined carefully against performance and equity impacts.

- Red Line and Crestview: the commission recommended continued prioritization and funding planning for grade separation at Crestview Station — an improvement CapMetro has identified as a key barrier to improved Red Line frequencies — and requested that the agency plan to operate 15‑minute peak headways on the Red Line once the needed grade separation work is completed.

- Support for Gold Line timing: commissioners amended an earlier draft to request that the Project Connect Gold Line (Republic Square to ACC Highland) be placed in the 5‑to‑10‑year network, with service begun no later than 2033.

The commission also added a recommendation asking CapMetro to work with local school districts to review bus‑route arrangements in light of school closures or consolidations that could change ridership patterns.

Commissioners debated tradeoffs between keeping local bus coverage versus prioritizing higher‑speed rail and express airport service. Chair Jill Summers and other commissioners stressed the need to preserve reliable local transfers while avoiding duplication of service that could dilute funds for higher‑capacity connections. After amendments to clarify timeframes and to add study language, the final motion passed unanimously.

The UTC directed staff to forward the recommendation to CapMetro and to ensure the commission’s comments are part of CapMetro’s reopened comment period.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Urban Transportation","oneSentenceSummary","The City of Austin Urban Transportation Commission on Oct. 7 approved a multi‑part recommendation asking Capital Metro to revise or study specific elements of the draft Transit Plan 2035, including further analysis of 801/803 alignments through downtown, an express airport connection timed to light‑rail service, and priority work on the Red Line.","taxTitle","Austin, Travis County, Texas","taxId",2819,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6425730,"City panel recommends 12-step overhaul to make street trees easier to plant and keep",1860,1798000,3658000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5906767-c1f7d7981e62628ebeeb1f8c4b28d4d6&start=1798&end=3658","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5906767-c1f7d7981e62628ebeeb1f8c4b28d4d6/thumbnail_1798000.jpg","/articles/6425730/Austin/Travis-County/Texas/City-panel-recommends-12-step-overhaul-to-make-street-trees-easier-to-plant-and-keep","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6425730-bb60216ce7ed1affd111fbe4396148d5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770517322&Signature=VkC~18UxA1BaBAKr2j5sc8G~fwRasC1xqm5MH8~1QYxDbwB6QKOLBpQ~w70YM88Iu2gv-A2G0urxC1v2MfPYLgUlG-OzMdorpHAoQSjbeHQkXLS66ec36e-h9grpiaV0b4aLsHXF8vNbt-zj1UZULV3CPxiPy2z4szKu~RvrZEV~GxsWII4GOBqtmEejOsMyoeH4JNj8YFkj4ZHRcODFG83tXBS0Y6PE73K7fvaE7~TiUY2-h56Ad9I-vExZMRuVaguANutqHkY6rOfCLJpoaY~G2I8Ze4rKNKFlFBMd931YZKXoHlyJ9rZG2tLmSgUnH9GN2EDVY375t3W6Hqz~sg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Austin Transportation & Public Works and a city technical advisory group presented a 12‑point set of recommendations on Oct. 7 aimed at removing barriers to planting and maintaining street trees in the public right of way.

Michelle Marks, a TPW presenter who described herself as a facilitator for the Technical Assistance Advisory Review Panel (TARP), told the Urban Transportation Commission the group’s work responds to a March 2024 City Council green‑infrastructure resolution. \"They create a safer, kind of more comfortable active transportation network for people walking to bus stops and riding their bikes,\" Marks said, describing multiple benefits of street trees.

TARP’s recommendations — intended as coordinated administrative and programmatic changes — fall into four categories: regulatory foundations, process improvements, maintenance and capital planning. The 12 actions include:

- Consolidating and clarifying right‑of‑way guidance by updating the Transportation Criteria Manual (TCM) into a unified Right‑of‑Way Design Manual that would state where trees are required, minimum soil volume, pit sizes and fee‑in‑lieu options;
- Updating standard plans and specifications for tree wells, irrigation and soil cells;
- Coordinating with Austin Water and Austin Energy to align utility clearances and explore techniques such as root barriers and soil cells;
- Updating the city’s approved street‑tree species list to reflect climate resilience and microclimates;
- Considering whether legislative code changes are needed if administrative updates prove insufficient;
- Establishing an interdepartmental early‑stage review to resolve right‑of‑way allocation conflicts before projects are tied up in review;
- Improving reviewer and developer guidance and training;
- Eliminating the current requirement for one‑off license agreements to place trees in the right of way;
- Exploring city‑led maintenance programs instead of individual license agreements, while noting city maintenance would require sustained new funding;
- Creating an inventory and condition assessment of the city’s street‑tree assets;
- Developing a capital plan for green infrastructure investment; and
- Incorporating street‑tree costs into baseline budgets for major capital projects where feasible.

Marks told commissioners that eliminating license agreements is intended to remove a repetitive administrative hurdle that currently makes private right‑of‑way plantings costly to implement. \"So, number 8 here is just to eliminate the requirement for license agreements,\" Marks said. The panel also suggested cities often require adjacent property owners to maintain trees in front of their property, but TARP recommended exploring a city‑run maintenance program to ensure consistent, professional care.

Commissioners and TARP members discussed practical constraints — space in narrow rights of way, conflicts with bus lanes, sidewalks and utilities, and the need to prioritize competing uses — and emphasized early interdepartmental coordination. Several commissioners urged that any city‑led maintenance plan must be paired with identified funding. TPW said the TARP report will be provided to council and that staff will submit a memo to the mayor and council outlining departmental responses and an implementation workplan.

The panel also proposed pilot projects and phased implementation; TPW plans to brief boards and commissions before forwarding a memo and the full TARP report to the City Council mobility committee and mayor and council later in October.","Austin Transportation & Public Works and a Technical Assistance Review Panel proposed a 12-action package to address regulatory, permitting and maintenance barriers to planting and maintaining street trees in the right of way, including updating design manuals, standard plans, and exploring city‑led maintenance.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6425737,"Great Springs Project seeks 2026 bond backing for Lower Colorado River Trail segments and land acquisitions",652,437000,1089000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5906767-c1f7d7981e62628ebeeb1f8c4b28d4d6&start=437&end=1089","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5906767-c1f7d7981e62628ebeeb1f8c4b28d4d6/thumbnail_437000.jpg","/articles/6425737/Austin/Travis-County/Texas/Great-Springs-Project-seeks-2026-bond-backing-for-Lower-Colorado-River-Trail-segments-and-land-acquisitions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6425737-ad3af9c8863e0fdf17fc266a3a7a9f82/orig.mp4?Expires=1770517322&Signature=dz1D0sX2JOFR9hzpeOI7Gtyw98FP6vH~3c9Sh85tLZF0Ppud0fkOCh-ik3bex~HGxfQCyqIRQ~UCL82V92I0FI16Gx~M8hYml5XN7QSDYlfpK7KkhtC1aT51ZdpF6BWtqHmqqYIQkM5jvxDM0UrJhBLPYLOeV~q7gYx2hqZjRRqtojsgb5fPcYCJJ7o2tmsfnnzn8MZuq4V0hRt7UKOcAlcUlvTpWNC6-OKhL2M4RTW2QjyHWTM77YmHwtU-eVzT1hj8qY7yunS8U84FloCWbmTrp3er4~x5DjpehR1czvBP74B5trJDfRFXfa0nnpXpwdSAFQDkgXzGUIY6xS8yQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Great Springs Project officials on Oct. 7 told the City of Austin Urban Transportation Commission that the group is seeking city backing in the 2026 bond to build two urban-trail segments and to acquire land needed to complete the Lower Colorado River Trail.

The commission heard an update from Mikey Guralnick, a landscape architect and planner with Great Springs Project, who described the organization as a regional nonprofit working across the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. \"We work throughout the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone between Austin and San Antonio,\" Guralnick said.

The presentation focused on two elements the group asks the city to prioritize in the 2026 bond: (1) design and construction of an urban-trail segment through Reggie Guerrero Park, including an underpass beneath U.S. 183 to link two city parcels on the river’s south side, and (2) design and construction of a north-river segment that would extend the trail from the CTRMA trailhead at U.S. 183 through the proposed Balm Riverfront District into Bolen District Park on city-owned or APR-acquired land.

Guralnick said his team worked with Austin’s Transportation & Public Works urban trails staff to develop cost estimates for both segments. He told commissioners the Reggie Guerrero Park segment contains complex site conditions — an under-highway crossing, drainage constraints and sections that may require piled or elevated structures — that push its estimate toward the higher end of per-mile urban-trail costs. By contrast, a segment through Roy G. Guerrero Railroad Park was described as a lower-cost, largely flat alignment on existing city right-of-way.

Beyond construction, Great Springs has been coordinating with the city’s Austin Parks & Recreation Department (APR) on a slate of priority acquisitions to secure easements and some fee-simple parcels needed to link the trail between Trigno Park and Hornsby Bend. Guralnick said APR provided the acquisition cost estimate and that Great Springs is advocating for APR funding in the bond to secure the connectivity vision in the city’s urban trails plan.

Guralnick also described two outside funding wins: a watershed-restoration-and-access planning grant from the Bureau of Reclamation, which will fund a six- to eight‑month community engagement and technical planning process led by Agency Landscape and Planning with subconsultants Alta Planning, Siglo Group and Rifeline; and a pending TxDOT grant proposal for $1,800,000 to develop schematic (30%) designs for prioritized trail segments in city and county jurisdictions. \"We're waiting to find out in a couple weeks\" about the TxDOT award, Guralnick said.

Commissioners pressed on partnership arrangements with the city. Guralnick said Great Springs is in regular coordination with APR, city urban-trails staff and other nonprofit partners, and he described ongoing discussions about developing an interlocal agreement or operations-and-maintenance arrangement that would support co-sponsored funding applications to federal and state programs and long-term park operations.

If the bond advocacy is successful, Great Springs officials said they expect one of the proposed southern segments (Reggie Guerrero Park underpass) to be a tier‑1 candidate for the 2026 bond program and the north-river segment through the Balm/Bolen Riverfront area to be a tier‑2 candidate or a standalone capital project for TPW/parks funding consideration.

The commission did not take a formal vote on the presentation but thanked Great Springs Project staff for the update and cost breakdowns, and commissioners indicated they would consider the proposal during the bond recommendation window.","Great Springs Project presenters urged the Urban Transportation Commission to support two trail-construction segments for the Lower Colorado River and land acquisitions to complete the Lower Colorado River Trail, including a Bureau of Reclamation watershed grant and a pending $1.8 million TxDOT design proposal.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6425717,"Safe Routes to School reports $38.9M spent, 603 barriers fixed; plan refresh to account for school consolidations",967,6754000,7721000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5906767-c1f7d7981e62628ebeeb1f8c4b28d4d6&start=6754&end=7721","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5906767-c1f7d7981e62628ebeeb1f8c4b28d4d6/thumbnail_6754000.jpg","/articles/6425717/Austin/Travis-County/Texas/Safe-Routes-to-School-reports-389M-spent-603-barriers-fixed-plan-refresh-to-account-for-school-consolidations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6425717-aca4dde51754626949a20780c5520f39/orig.mp4?Expires=1770517322&Signature=ZZMA3hd-uuLpeohNlwYMFYZX51FiDdN25OWSNtZe0ZqED0OeZBsQzBT42cbtTTa14a9qo596wZB6dw4Ay9esLyaVDySKwzN264Ap6-61~rIRHsfdawz6H4u0B8EarIA-sLkVoqF1mvxgyJdsmp7VezCbiBNqgLKehBDaJe7JCiInzBToZE9GaS8-qWaNr09nAeOTnqDPUA-9huYiWL-HQqsc5N1uIYKW0YedOMHVNtiiTxlagR~KacuWulJ-uSxYwnEJAWIy6jQD5Bd961SxsdLa~JVH5H9MGmMXLt4VFy89x2055RRfDqzssymbEst44V47tnTWjnPiGlA3pI-OcQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Austin Transportation & Public Works briefed the Urban Transportation Commission on progress from the city’s Safe Routes to School infrastructure program and plans to refresh its infrastructure plan to account for new schools and recent school boundary changes.

\"The mission of the Safe Routes to School program is to increase the number of students walking and biking to school by creating a safer, healthier, and more equitable environment that fosters human powered transportation,\" said Colleen Gentles, the program’s infrastructure project manager.

Gentles summarized the Safe Routes program’s four arms — crossing-guard operations (more than 200 guards), in‑class education and trainings, engagement campaigns such as Park‑a‑Block‑and‑Walk and Bike on Wednesday, and capital infrastructure funded primarily by the 2016 and 2020 bond programs. She said the 2016 bond provided $27.5 million divided among council districts; the 2020 bond added $20 million with a charter‑school earmark of at least $1 million.

The program documented 4,600 barriers to walking and biking across 137 schools, then prioritized them by demand, crash/safety indicators, equity and stakeholder input. Gentles said 71% of identified barriers were sidewalks or curb ramps; the program prioritized projects with high benefit or favorable cost‑benefit profiles.

To date, Gentles reported that the program has spent about $38,900,000 on construction, has $2,600,000 encumbered, and $5,900,000 allocated but not yet assigned. The team has completed 603 barrier‑level improvements — about 65% intersection improvements and 27% sidewalk projects.

Gentles said the city will refresh the infrastructure plan under a Council‑initiated update (CIUR) to include high schools and any new public campuses built since the original audits; the refresh will also account for the recent AISD attendance‑boundary updates and consolidations. \"We are planning on refreshing and updating our infrastructure plan, using internal staff and contract capacity,\" she said, noting planned walk audits for high schools and newly built campuses.

The presentation also highlighted a preliminary evaluation of school‑zone signs and beacons: TPW staff estimated that hundreds of new or modified school zones and an infrastructure maintenance investment of about $5 million could be needed to align signage and beacons with operations and locations of existing schools.

Members of the commission asked about partnerships with other jurisdictions such as municipal utility districts and school districts, and about how the program tracks mode share and safety outcomes. Gentles said the program uses in‑class reported mode data, crash statistics, and network analyses; she noted that longer‑term behavior change can take several years and that researchers at UT‑affiliated partners had shown effects requiring multi‑year follow‑up. The team will continue outreach and will update the plan and project list during the refresh.","TPW’s Safe Routes to School team updated the Urban Transportation Commission on infrastructure investments from 2016 and 2020 bond funds, reporting roughly $38.9 million in construction to date, 603 barriers addressed out of an initial 4,600 identified, and a planned refresh that will include high schools and AISD boundary changes.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6425723,"TPW outlines Austin right‑of‑way vacation process, fees and typical timetable",446,5342000,5788000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5906767-c1f7d7981e62628ebeeb1f8c4b28d4d6&start=5342&end=5788","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5906767-c1f7d7981e62628ebeeb1f8c4b28d4d6/thumbnail_5342000.jpg","/articles/6425723/Austin/Travis-County/Texas/TPW-outlines-Austin-rightofway-vacation-process-fees-and-typical-timetable","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6425723-51d4a5c614078ad0c47d0b51edcce7c5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770517322&Signature=k-r6tOwEXFFyyLZp6mDgOrnDq-bofc5U~FbxZcc6eJGnkiOxIdnKpHvDLbQMGLgtkvAnuEvqOXMWo0BPwOCZPDkpD0DbVj~Qmc5FFbBNZGv~8nrz-12DH1A~7RelCBAg2kL8nEmfsJCL8W0uNGXEphKipdqllcGJahAkfFHrBBcWXJp~Wk2-yMRpDhxFOVQ336d-Ohcno3eM68lbQhEhzvHgDNNm8AWT2~GRqhowsVz7k-JBC38q7Tpe5X-7BUjQrGJqRPhxu77DXLJcJvUz~CI9aAOVpuEkxsQ~AOUiorNZu0If8XfC~uIDXXezvAQ8Byc0aEGCYWPQSUZ9PFtb0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A city official gave a step‑by‑step overview of how property owners request formal vacation of public right of way, describing fees, interdepartmental review, appraisal and recording procedures.

Joseph Fortinos, project manager of the Land Management Group in Austin Transportation & Public Works, told commissioners that a right‑of‑way vacation is a request to relinquish the public’s interest in platted right of way back to abutting property owners. \"The right of way is dedicated to the city via plat or separate instrument,\" Fortinos said.

Fortinos walked the commission through the key steps: an initial consultation with TPW land management to check feasibility; submission of a comprehensive application and a nonrefundable city application fee (reported at $14,413); an internal and external review process that can involve many reviewers — Austin Water, Austin Energy, Austin Fire, cable and fiber providers — and public notification to property owners within 300 feet. If reviewers conditionally approve, the Office of Real Estate engages a third‑party appraiser to determine the fair market value of the city’s interest; the applicant pays the appraisal and — if the council approves the vacation ordinance — the fair market value is paid to the city and the deed without warranty is recorded to transfer the land back to the abutting owner.

Fortinos said the overall process often takes up to 12 months and can be longer if issues arise. He told commissioners the Office of Real Estate handles appraisals and that applicants can choose a 30‑ or 60‑day appraisal. If City Council rejects a vacation after an applicant has paid the appraisal, Fortinos said the applicant will receive a refund for the appraisal fee.

The presentation noted that applicants sometimes file vacations without an accompanying site plan; Fortinos said owners may seek to clear title or simplify parcels before deciding a long‑term development plan. Public notifications generate any objections, which are recorded and included in staff reports and in the request for council action.

Fortinos encouraged applicants to use the initial consultation to avoid wasted expense and said land‑management staff will present vacations to boards and commissions, including UTC, to advise council. \"This goes out to both internal and external reviewers and they come back with either an approved, approved with conditions, or an outright rejection,\" Fortinos said.

Commissioners asked for staff materials to be made available to new commissioners and for a dataset of past vacation requests; staff said they would follow up with email resources and could provide data on request.","Austin Transportation & Public Works staff briefed the Urban Transportation Commission on the city’s right‑of‑way vacation procedures, including a $14,413 application fee, a review process with multiple city and utility reviewers, an appraisal managed by the Office of Real Estate, and a typical timeline of up to 12 months.","actionData","errors"]
