Austin, Texas, just voted to spend $7 billion on a transportation revolution<\/a><\/h2>\n

Austin, Texas, where drivers spend an average of 104 hours stuck in traffic each year, is a city built around the car. But after passing two new propositions, the city now plans to invest more than $7 billion in a new transit system, and another $460 million in new infrastructure centered on walking and biking.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153There were three main arguments that were made,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Austin mayor Steve Adler. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153One was congestion. One was climate change. One was mobility equity in our city.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The city\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new transit plan, called Project Connect, will build a new rail system with 31 stations, four new rapid bus routes, new …<\/p>\n

Biking brings you close to the road and depending on your tires, they will make a sound as you roll. At higher speeds, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s almost like a singing sound.

After Gettysburg, I was home for 2 days, then I shoved off to Milwaukee. After 6 days, I headed to Port Arthur, Texas for 2 weeks. Port Arthur is in the southeast corner of Texas.

Most people work at the many oil refineries throughout southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana …<\/p>\n

Fresh bike lane has been striped on Hercules Ln between Locust and Stuart. There is still no bike lane in the middle segment where it's too narrow, and it doesn't appear that segment will be widened during this project. pic.twitter.com\/KiPKdKNXFx<\/a><\/p>— Bike Denton (@bikedenton) November 5, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
