About Our Future 35:
Our Future 35 is a community-centered initiative to build new city infrastructure and co-create public spaces over the I-35 highway.
Because the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is proposing to widen and lower portions of I-35 through central Austin, the City has an opportunity to re-connect East and West Austin through new “caps” and “stitches” that will make strides toward mending the divide created by the original construction of I-35 and replacing it with amenities that celebrate and connect all Austinites.
Our Future 35 is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to re-stitch our community and create community benefits for those who have been harmed by past decisions. It’s a collaboration between the City of Austin, Downtown Austin Alliance, and other community partners.
