State Loop 360 Improvement Study, TxDOT

 

NLA was the public involvement lead on a corridor improvement study for Loop 360 from US 290/SH 71 to North MoPac (Loop 1) in Austin. The study was a grassroots approach that involved groups and individuals throughout the community to identify needs and gather ideas and feedback about potential safety and mobility improvements within the Loop 360 corridor.
