Proposed safety and mobility improvements on Mesa Drive (From City of Austin)
The City of Austin is seeking community input during the second phase of engagement for proposed safety and mobility improvements to Mesa Drive between Spicewood Springs Road and Far West Boulevard. The proposed changes are intended to improve safety for people walking, biking, driving, and taking transit while maintaining neighborhood access, emergency response, and overall traffic operations.
We invite you to review the proposed design and complete a brief online survey by June 17, 2026. The survey takes less than five minutes.
Proposed Improvements
• Intersection safety improvements at:
o Spicewood Springs Road
Reorganize lanes at this high-crash intersection to create clearer and more predictable travel paths
Eliminate merging north and south of the intersection and improve bike lane continuity
o Far West Boulevard and Greystone Drive
Refresh unclear pavement markings and faded lane lines
Improve bike lane connections through intersections
Shorten crossing distances to improve visibility of people crossing
• Install paint-and-post pedestrian crossing islands
• Add a one-way buffered bike lane on each side of Mesa Drive
• Consolidate curbside parking on the east side of Mesa Drive
