Shoal Creek Boulevard

Letter to SCB Residents Regarding New Sidewalks

What follows is a letter sent to residents on Shoal Creek Boulevard regarding the new sidewalks being installed on both sides of Shoal Creek. The photo to the left is a section of sidewalk recently installed along Koenig.

Dear Resident:

The City of Austin Public Works Department will soon start a project in your neighborhood to repair/replace or install new sidewalk, curb and gutter, retaining walls and handicap ramps on Shoal Creek from 38^th Street to Foster. Both sides of Shoal Creek will have continuous sidewalks within these limits. We are addressing this letter to you as we may have certain work, including the installation of new sidewalk, on the City's right-of-way at your address. We will be both marking (with orange highlighting) our proposed alignment of this sidewalk as well as attempting to contact you prior to when work will commence to address any right-of-way conflicts that might exist at your location such as sprinkler systems, architectural lighting or landscape improvements.
