ECC Neighborhood Traffic Survey

ECC Neighborhood Traffic Survey

Do you have something to say about traffic in the East César Chávez Neighborhood? The ECC Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (ECCNPCT) is discussing traffic calming and safety improvements on our streets. Your input will help build community support to bring improvements to the streets we travel, walk and bike on. We will be discussing options for traffic calming and safety improvements for our neighborhood with the Austin Transportation Department (ATD) at our monthly meeting September 15, 2021. The ECCNPCT invites you to join the conversation and participate in a short survey to share your thoughts.

The survey should take less than 10 minutes and is divided into two sections. The first section is specific to Comal and Waller Streets, two streets already being discussed at monthly meetings. The second section is directed at streets throughout the neighborhood:
