Enhancing the Congress Avenue Experience:
Leading Downtown Into the Future
Nothing defines downtown Austin quite like the blocks of Congress Avenue between Lady Bird Lake and the State Capitol. It is truly the Main Street of Texas, but Congress Avenue has not yet realized its full potential.
How can we enhance the street life and the form of Congress Avenue, and turn what is a good street into one of the best streets in the world? What can we do TODAY to make a positive impact on the Congress Avenue experience? How can we take lessons learned and manifest these changes throughout all of Downtown?
Please join us for a charrette and luncheon symposium on February 26 at the InterContinental Stephen F. Austin Hotel where you will have an opportunity to positively change the face of Congress Avenue.
Charrette:
Attendees will participate in an interactive session to identify the strategies and tactics for creating an improved pedestrian environment in Downtown Austin, starting with Congress Avenue.
Luncheon Keynote, Panel Discussion and Q&A Session:
Max Reim, principal and co-managing partner of Live Work Learn Play LLP, is an expert on envisioning, creating and operating vibrant destinations that are environmentally and financially sustainable. Reim will conclude the keynote with a panel discussion where community leaders will address Congress Avenue opportunities and challenges. Attendees will have an opportunity to pose questions to panelists.
