The City of Austin, Texas, has awarded a contract to 2693 Parsons Brinckerhoff for the development of a transportation corridor plan along an 18.5km section of IH 35 in central Austin. A variety of potential highway, transit, bike and pedestrian improvements are anticipated to be generated from a process which will apply a context sensitive process involving a wide range of agency and public stakeholders.

PB is leading a multidisciplinary team involved in collecting, evaluating, ranking and prioritising a wide range of mostly short- and medium-term transportation improvements along the corridor. In addition to overall management, the firm's specific roles include planning and evaluating alternatives, traffic and civil engineering analysis, cost estimating, public and stakeholder outreach and program development of recommended solutions. The company also leads the agency partnering process that includes coordination with concurrent transit, highway and toll road studies and projects under way in the Austin area.
