There are multiple CVCs that are protected by both the state and city, but which have slightly distinct definitions. The state's definition of the MoPac bridge is much broader than the city's, and I think I prefer it. Same thing for Longhorn Shores. The city's definition of the Redbud Trail view is incoherently off-base and doesn't really protect anything. The state's is better. On the flip side, the state's Barton Creek Pedestrian Bridge definition is unneeded and the city's is much superior.

I really hope that once all of surface parking lots and underutilized lots are built out that the city and state will revisit some of the CVCs like the ones you pointed out. But despite the amazing amount of tower construction going on, I think we are still a few years away from that. There are still a lot of underutilized parcels of land downtown.
