Bike Lane Construction to Begin - Barton Springs between Robert E. Lee and Mopac.

The City of Austin's Bicycle and Pedestrian Program in the Public Works Department is holding their pre-construction kick-off meeting for the addition of two five foot wide bike lanes to be installed on Barton Springs Road in the Zilker Park area between Robert E. Lee St and Loop 1 overpass. The lanes will be added to each side of the existing road and a ribbon curb - a flat 16 inch wide strip of concrete will separate the bike lane from the surrounding ground of the park.

Construction is expected to begin shortly and is due to be completed prior to the Austin City Limits Music Festival on Sept 26-28.
