The city of Austin is set to revamp its Downtown Austin Plan, expanding the geographic and project scope to include the University Neighborhood Overlay, parts of the University of Texas campus, and the South Central Waterfront. This large-scale approach, proposed in a May 9 memo, aims to address years of urbanization and significant public investments. Planning officials emphasize that the old boundaries no longer represent the connected nature of downtown, advocating for a cohesive strategy that respects individual district identities while planning for unified development.
This broadening of the DAP update to a district plan with a larger geography acknowledges the regional nature of the urban core in the city and creates intentionality.
The revised boundaries propose expanding the area from 29th Street in the north to Bouldin Creek in the south, bordered by Lamar Boulevard to the west and I-35 to the east.
