For more details checkout the Downtown Austin Plan website. More importantly, cast your vote in the Downtown Austin Plan Survey. The survey focuses on the types of development you’d like to see in downtown Austin and the problems you see with downtown Austin today.

As the title suggests, M1EK (a.k.a. Mike) doesn’t really mince words. As a former member of the Urban Transportation Commission he knows the subject. On the streetcar issue it’s difficult to argue with the facts he presents. Enjoy!
