UT Austin wants to cover I-35 from Dean Keeton to 15th Street
www.kut.org
Covering the highway after the main lanes are lowered would cost the university an estimated $400 million and create more than 17 new acres of campus.

    I was kinda interested until I got to “six-lane frontage road”. Why are there still so many cars and such a big road in this plan? I thought they were going to cover it with useable green space for people.

    yea because I want to sit in a “green space” in which its air space is polluted by car emissions AND microplastics from tire and road wear particles (TRWP) from I-35 and frontage roads

    The only solution is to get rid of I-35 that runs through ATX core. Re-route traffic through 45/130.
