Don't Reverse Our NEW Center Lane!

Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) is conducting a transportation study of regional arterials throughout Austin.  One of the proposals is for Bee Cave Rd in the Cities of West Lake Hills and Rollingwood.  The study proposes converting our brand new (and still under construction) center turn lane into a reversible lane during AM and PM peak periods.  This would mean our new center lane could no longer be used as a turn lane! 

The Westlake Chamber of Commerce thinks this is a bad idea for our Westlake businesses and residents.  After all these years, our community finally has a center lane which helps to reduce traffic, increase safety and allows for a safe left-hand turn into our neighborhoods, schools and businesses. Even the study states that there will be significant operational challenges to make this change.  

As a business in the Westlake area, please email them, tell them you are a business and you want to KEEP OUR NEW CENTER LANE AS A TURN LANE. Please email your comments by July 15, 2019 to: campo@campotexas.org (subject: Regional Arterials Study).
