So I attended a Burnet corridor planning/information meeting last night.
https://www.austintexas.gov/northlamarburnet
It was mostly an informational meeting giving an update on what they've done and are planning to do with the 2012 (not 2016) bond money that was allocated for the corridor.
Part of it was letting everyone know that certain projects will be paused slightly to better plan and coordinate now that they have(or will have) a much larger pot of money from the 2016 bond. As a taxpayer, I approve of this. It's good to minimize the amount of work you do that will get immediately/soon ripped out again.
Sounds like they're doing short term sidewalk infill of gaps and possibly other short term safety fixes.
Unrelated to the general meeting content, one of the CoA employees (I didn't catch her name) did mention that she had heard of a potential second rail stop at the IBM redevelopment. From her, it sounded like it was still up in the air as to whether it would be moving the existing one or an additional one.
To me 2 sounds potential excessive. That would be a spacing of about half a mile. For reference, the downtown station to plaza saltillo is about 3/4 mile.
I'm hoping that she's not on this board, and that I'm not the source of this rumor
