A $10.3 billion subway tunnel in Austin leaders' “big” transit plan draws enthusiastic response
At a Jan. 14 work session, Austin's transit board heard the proposals for a new transportation system in the city. One of them is a 1.6-mile downtown tunnel to connect an elevated north-south downtown line to a line out to Austin Bergstrom International Airport.
“We can go small and fail or we can make the right investment for the future of our city,” council member Jimmy Flannigan said. “We’re talking about rail in a tunnel. That’s a subway. I mean, wow. That’s what real cities do.”
