Our Future 35 w/ Public City

Austinites have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform I-35 through the heart of our city — investing in our community, improving all forms of transportation, and creating community parks, bridges and other amenities where the highway stands now. To take advantage of this opportunity, the Downtown Austin Alliance, in collaboration with a diverse group of Austin leaders, aims to support a community- driven vision for the future of the I-35 corridor in Central Austin.


Eastlink Trail w/ Public City

EastLink is a 5.1 mile trail in Central East Austin. It connects Bartholomew Park to Lady Bird Lake, and many civic assets in between.

Austin Parks Foundation, in partnership with the City of Austin and the Mueller Foundation, brought the community together to share their stories, and imagine spaces that will inspire and meet their unique needs.

Two trail explorations brought EastLink neighbors together to share their stories and the history that has shaped our communities through art, recreation, activism and economic empowerment. And in response to the community’s desire for art along the trail,

THE PILLARS PROJECT commissioned six artists to create murals on the pillars along Rosewood Avenue, under Pleasant Valley Road in the Boggy Creek Greenbelt. The murals AND EXPLORATIONS reflect how the history of a place can inform it’s future as told by the trail’s East Austin community.
