About the Project
The East 51st Street Mobility Project stems from the East 51st Street Vision Plan to create a community vision and promote coordinated redevelopment for both sides of the corridor, with the Windsor Park neighborhood to the north and the Mueller redevelopment underway to the south. The East 51st Street Vision Plan achieved wide consensus and support from area neighborhood groups and was endorsed by Austin City Council on April 26, 2012. City Council also passed a resolution directing the City Manager to identify action items to implement the plan. The East 51st Street Improvements Project was later added to the 2012 Bond, Proposition 12 – Transportation and Mobility, as a community-based project during the bond development process.
