Steck Avenue provides important connectivity and neighborhood access for people driving, walking, bicycling and accessing bus service to, from, within and through the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood. The City of Austin will resurface Steck Avenue from MoPac to Burnet Road, providing an opportunity to implement planned safety and mobility changes.     PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE: Upgrading existing painted bike lanes to protected bike lanes between MoPac and Burnet Road where space allows Maintain turn lanes at MoPac, Shoal Creek Boulevard, Rockwood Lane, Briarwood Lane, the easternmost entrance to North Village Branch Library and Burnet Road Install new pedestrian crossing islands at Stillwood Lane, Parkdale Drive and the easternmost driveway for the North Village Branch Library     Steck Avenue (MoPac-Burnet Road) Scope Map     INSTALLATION Resurfacing of the roadway is scheduled to occur this summer. New markings and signs will follow resurfacing after the new pavement has cured and paint can be successfully applied. The street will remain open at all times during construction. All work is dependent on weather and any other unanticipated delays. BACKGROUND These changes are informed by a community conversation that began in 2017 and was later incorporated into recommendations in the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan (Recommendations MC A9, MC A11a, and MC A23), adopted August 2018. The planned maintenance work provides an opportunity to now implement these recommendations.
