AUSTIN (KXAN) — This year was Austin’s deadliest on record when it comes to fatal crashes, with more than 100 deaths. To help assure 2016 doesn’t look the same, each City Council member was asked to submit a list of priority infrastructure projects, due Thursday, to improve transportation in their respective districts.
“It’s just a drop in the bucket of what you can fund when it comes to transportation and mobility infrastructure improvements,” Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo said.

Earlier this month, council passes a resolution 9-2 to equally, rather than equitably distribute funding from Capital Metro’s Quarter Cent fund to each district. For the full article click here
