Today, the Austin City Council voted 7-0 to send the $90 M transportation bond ballot item to the voters on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. $52 M will go for road projects, while $38 M will go no non-road projects, including sidewalks, bike lanes and trails, including the 1.1 M boardwalk which will close the gap on the trail at Lady Bird Lake, completing the trail. The Trail Foundation has committed to raising $3 M of the total cost of construction in their efforts to complete the trail.
