With 425 projects at over 100 schools under its belt, Austin's Transportation and Public Works Department is moving forward with plans to improve pedestrian and bike routes to elementary and middle schools throughout the city.
Infrastructure improvements include everything from sidewalks to curb ramps and shared use paths, bicycle facilities and trails.
In 2016, $27.5 million was allocated to "high priority" infrastructure projects across Austin's 10 Council districts, with an additional $20 million in 2020. $1 million of that sum is reserved specifically for projects around charter schools, which staffers say will target historically underfunded areas.
