Imagine Austin provides high-level guidance for capital investment over the next 30 years to achieve the longterm vision for the community. However, there are a lot of additional levels of planning, technical assessments, policy guidance, and funding decisions that are needed prior to on-the-ground implementation of capital projects.
Capital Needs Identification and Planning Departments continue to work with the community to identify and refine future capital needs for implementing Imagine Austin through department master plans, small area plans and neighborhood plans, as well as specialized task force reports. For example, in 2016, the Public Works Department led the 2016 Update to the Sidewalk Master Plan / Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan that incorporates goals and policies from Imagine Austin and the updated Complete Streets policy. In addition, the Council-appointed Flood Mitigation Task Force will be bringing recommendations to Council later related to citywide and area flooding later in 2016.
