I think there's a lot of potential along Anderson past those intersections as well (though I'm a bit biased, living in Wooten).
1. The whole corridor, from Mopac to 183/Lamar is identified as an "activity corridor" on the imagine Austin map (for what it's worth).

2. Anderson/Mopac is a potential station location for the LStar rail (if that ever happens).
3. The intersection of Anderson and the capMetro red line could potentially support a station.
4. The area along Anderson east of Burnet is probably already even more walkable than the section you called out. The commercial lots there are for the most part narrower and shorter, which is more conducive to a variety of businesses.
5. The whole stretch already has pretty good transit service (for Austin), with both the 5 and the 323.
6. Burnet/Anderson is supposedly the center of population of the metro.
7. It's well positioned between Downdown and the Domain, or Mueller/Highland and the Domain.
8. It has connectivity with both Mopac and 183/35.
