I saw a web report on KXAN that the city council will be finalizing imagine Austin with a vote coming up in a couple of weeks. The blue print of how the city will grow over the next 30 years looks like it should be able to pass given its overwhelming support from various public community panels and commisions.
Kevin, I will see if I can find anything about the GWT site. |

Austin's different then them because of the topography alone, its leading Austin to sprawl much differently. The highways/freeways are already an indication of what we need to work on, otherwise our traffic will compete with the best of them with Atlanta and Washington DC. |
Are you sure it was KVUE, I could not find anything on their site about it. Im interested in seeing that 3D model.

Austin does resemble Atlanta in a way, only difference I see is the lack of mass transit and we don't sprawl out as much.

Kvue did a segment about the contruction and growth downtown at the end she said there were 4,500 people living in downtown in 1993 & shot up to 9,500 this year. I would not be surprised if we surpassed the 10,000 mark.

Im sure some NAs will never be on board with anything the city does but aparently the plan has had major support from several public panels throught the city and everybody on the Planning and zoning commission voted in favor of the plan. Even Bill Spelman stated he was impressed that it unanimously passed the Planning and zoning commission. One of the members on the board, that guy with the long grey hair and classes got interviewed on the news and said that the goal is to get people to live as close to where they work and less of a need to use a car. What I like about the plan is it really builds up the central core. I think most people, even those who are not happy with growth realize we need to grow right.

[QUOTE=KevinFromTexas;5680136]The floor number hasn't changed. It's still at 33 floors which is what it was when I got the heights a while back. I'll probably send them another "confirmation" email once they break ground just to make sure nothing's changed, but they had told me plans were pretty much finalized then.
"She was a good thread. " :) :haha: That is a great idea to go back and look at the earlier construction thread! HUM! Now that is some geek entertainment! You know i will! |
Heh, I geeked and did the same thing yesterday when Kevin linked them. :) Lots of fun reading.
Then went and linked them at the bottom of the list for others to do the same. |
Here is a picture today of COTA with a view of downtown
