Upcoming TOD Workshops
By Katherine Gregor, Fri., June 22, 2007
For the four stations shown, the city is actively planning TOD districts (shown in orange). The Capital MetroRail "Red Line" will begin service in Fall 2008 on 32 miles of existing freight train tracks that run between Leander and Downtown; it primarily serves suburban commuters from parts north.

PB PlaceMaking will hold station-area planning workshops June 26-28, to present their plans and collect community feedback. During facilitated table discussions, participants will respond to a "blended plan" that strives to distill all of the best ideas generated to date.
Presentations start at 6pm; those new to the process or wanting more time to view drawings should arrive at 5:30pm. A light meal will be provided. For more info, visit www.ci.austin.tx.us/planning/tod or contact Sonya López, the city's lead TOD planner, at 974-7694.
