We’ve received notice that this weekend (March 6-7), there will be a road closure on Anderson Lane east of our neighborhood while Capital Metro works on the railroad crossing.
See the map below for details:
The red line shows the MetroRail train tracks. The closure will occur where the train crosses Anderson Lane. The green line shows the official detour around the street closure. The blue line shows an alternate route, for eastbound drivers who miss the official detour.
The road closure is scheduled to begin Saturday, March 6 starting at 6 am. It will remain closed until the work is completed sometime on Sunday.
Here is the information we received from Capital Metro:
Good afternoon folks,
Each day Capital Metro is closer to opening the MetroRail system, and we continue to working diligently to get running soon. Part of this work will include doing track work at the Anderson Lane crossing. Anderson Lane will be closed starting at 6 AM on Saturday morning and will remain closed until completion sometime on Sunday, March 7. We will be working on track alignment so that both the train and cars crossing will have a smoother ride. Capital Metro apologizes for any disruptions that this maintenance may cause our neighbors, and we will work with our contractor to complete this work as safely and quickly as possible.
Below is detour map to assist you in preparing for the detour this weekend.
Please share this information with your neighbors who live near the tracks.
Thank you, and have a nice evening,

We posted previously about the Strategic Mobility Forums held earlier this month. The City of Austin is using these forums to gather citizen priorities on transportation projects.
If you weren’t able to attend a forum, now you have the opportunity to participate online through an online survey.
Here’s the announcement from the City:
“The City of Austin today launched a new online survey asking citizens about their transportation priorities to help guide how future transportation dollars will be spent. The survey mirrors the workshop exercises conducted at the six Austin Mobility Forums across the city this week. […] Results from the survey will be shared with the City Council as it considers future mobility projects.”
The survey is available here: http://www.austinstrategicmobility.com/get-involved/survey/
