Consultants present infrastructure plan for Town Lake Metro Park
Ashley Goudeau, KVUE 10:59 p.m. CDT July 28, 2014
The Austin Parks Foundation hired the consulting firm to study the park and come up with a 10 to 15 year plan to maximize the space.
Monday, consultants presented recommendations to change the infrastructure. The Doughtery Arts Center is on contaminated soil and needs a new home. The firm suggests relocating it to between the Long and Palmer Events Centers and turning that space into an above parking facility.
Another big change deals with Riverside Drive. There has been talk of closing the road to accommodate park goers but a transportation study by the firm found that's just not feasible. Their suggestion is to downgrade the street, or take some portions of it underground, and add walking bridges on top. The road would then provide access to an underground parking garage with 1,200 spaces. The downside, the plan eliminates free parking on the street.
