PROGRAM ABSTRACT
The City of Austin is continuing with the Waller Creek Tunnel Project. Waller Creek runs north to south west of I-35, and it ultimately drains into Lady Bird Lake south of Trinity Street and just east of the Four Seasons Hotel. The project, with an estimated construction cost of about $100 million, will control the drainage from, improve the water quality in, and enhance the economic development along the creek for about a mile from Waterloo Park (12th Street and Red River) to Lady Bird Lake. This presentation will include an overview of the project and proposed schedule for completion.
