Our vision

SN's vision is to have new development implemented in North Central Austin in a way that is sustainable and neighborhood-friendly.  We imagine a number of distinctive town centers or districts along the Core Transit Corridors, each with adequate open space to foster a sense of community, robust mass transit options to ameliorate traffic impact, and walkability not only on the arterials, but extending into the districts.  The districts should be attractive to a diverse demographic, including families and seniors.

 

Our goals for 2008

 

1. Increase open space required for future VMU districts

2. Increase pedestrian/bike connectivity within and beyond VMU districts

3. Find short-term and long-term solutions to traffic, including robust mass transit

4. Support NA's in removing VMU from properties that are not in a viable VMU district, or where additional planning is required to resolve site-specific problems.

 

Our strategy

 

Our strategy is to engage neighborhood associations, the City of Austin, and property owners in a positive discussion that achieves the goals of all three stakeholders.
