 SH-45
A source of continuing discussion
SH-45 Southwest (a.k.a., Manchaca Expressway) has been and continues to be a subject of great interest and dialogue in Austin, both with respect to mobility issues and concerns about potential impacts to sensitive environmental resources. The segment of the project from South Loop 1 to FM1626 will soon be evaluated through National Environmental Policy Act, which by federal law requires an examination of all alternatives, including not constructing the project ("no-build"). Including SH-45 Southwest on this map is not intended to represent a position on which alternative is selected. If an alternative other than no-build is selected, this plan recommends designing the roadway to be attractive and to meet the City’s objectives of non-degradation of water quality in the Barton Springs Zone of the Edwards Aquifer.  In particular, if the project is built, it should be a roadway design identified as the locally preferred alternative in the results of the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority Environmental Assessment/ Environmental Impact Statement, should avoid impacts to critical environmental features, and should incorporate advanced stormwater quality and spill containment controls to achieve a non-degradation level of environmental protection. 		 Redevelopment over the Edwards Aquifer
Five Centers are located over the recharge or contributing zones of the South Edwards Aquifer or in a water supply watershed. Redevelopment on these centers should improve retention and water quality feeding into the aquifer or drinking water sources. These centers should also be carefully evaluated to fit within their infrastructure and environmental context. See also Policy LUT 20: “Ensure that redevelopment in the Edwards Aquifer’s recharge and contributing zones maintains the recharge of the aquifer.”
