Austin City Council · City Council Work Session · 26 May 2026 meeting

There's a lot of opportunity, and they are, I think, very wisely looking to future-proof it.

I think that's a great example and a great model for us to follow.

I think we did that when we voted to future-proof large portions of I-35 as much as we could.

And I just, I think...

going in this direction, I just don't see any significant benefits.

I see a very minor mobility gain.

I don't see this cap leading to some kind of like large economic development or anything like that, adding to the already pretty robust economic development in the area.

And I would just urge council, again, I know we don't want to spend any more money than we need to.

We have so many competing projects, but

You know, we're cutting what we're spending in half, but what we're getting from this is, I think, virtually zero.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mayor.

I really enjoyed the conversation today.

We're not always going to agree, but I think it's been said many times, as long as we kind of all come together at the very end.

And I know regardless of what side folks are on on this very important issue, we all care deeply about the city.

We just might have a different way of connecting the city together.

I just had a few questions.

Sorry, I just had a few comments, no questions on my end.

Um, you know, myself and kinds of share the north loop neighborhood and we both often go to the neighborhood association and the most.

You know, the number 1 issue that folks bring up is the work that we've done around a cap and stitch.
