Remember that Burnet from 2222 to 183 is soon to be re-constructed. I believe the project has been approved and is funded by the 2010 Bond Election. The section between 2222 and Anderson Lane will be reconstructed first and is where the 6601 Burnet Marketplace is proposed. Check out the reconstruction proposal below and click on the “Burnet Road Display Boards” to see road cross-sections in the plan. And click on "South Section" of Burnet under Aerial Photos to see a real nice photo/map of the project.

Burnet may not look great right now, however after the center islands with trees, left turn lanes, bike lanes, wide sidewalks and street trees are installed the street will look great. I just wish the plan included three lanes in each direction with one designated for transit. Burnet is getting a Rapid Bus Line and one day may have a Street Car. Four lanes will not be enough in the future.
The stretch from 45th to 2222 has no plan that I know of. This is the stretch without a left turn lane for much of the way. This is also the section with the proposed 5453 Burnet Park development and the existing 5350 AMLI development.
