Plans to ease traffic flow pushed in Austin

The Austin City Council moved forward on a crosstown boulevard and one way street plan to ease east west traffic.

A public hearing will precede action, with UT neighborhood one way work not yet ready. The polio cleanup drive will start April 1, using 28 sanitation trucks with additional crews planned.
