Information regarding the present operations of the Missouri Pacific, Missouri Kansas and Texas, and Southern Pacific Railroads was furnished by officials of these lines. The City Plan Commission of Austin through its former Planning Supervisor, Mr. Glenn M. Dunkle, and through Mr. Charles Granger, Consultant to the Plan Commission gave encouragement to the pursuit of the present study and provided many of the street and topographic maps, aerial photographs and other information on existing and proposed railroad facilities.

  • East Austin Superhighway Breaks Ground
    (https://twitter.com/austinmonitor) (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Austin-Monitor/705048206171979) (/) BETA Thursday, April 7, 2016 by Caleb Pritchard (http://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/author/cpritchard2001/) ROADS (HTTP://WWW.AUSTINMONITOR.COM/STORIES/CATEGORY/TRANSPORTATION/ROADS/) East Austin superhighway breaks ground Scores of people gathered on the northern banks of the Colorado River in East Austin on Wednesday morning to watch the ceremonial birth of a massive new roadway expansion effort. Through the distant white noise of fast-moving traffic zipping along on three overhead bridges, the crowd heard Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority officials lavish praise on the 183 South Project (http://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2016/03/massive-road-expansion-bears-down-on-austins-east-side/). “We’ve got 60,000 cars a day out here,” CTRMA Board of Directors Chair Ray Wilkerson said of the existing stretch of U.S. Highway 183 between U.S. Highway 290 and State Highway 71. “When we’re through with this, we’re gonna triple that capacity. That’s huge when you think about it. That’s going to go from Round Rock to the airport. So this truly is a regional project.” Scheduled to be completed by 2020, the 183 South Project will turn the current roadway into a 12-lane superhighway. Three limited-access lanes in each direction will be tolled, while the three-lane frontage roads on either side will remain nontolled. “I think this will be a new golden corridor with the type of employment base that will make the city very proud,” CTRMA Executive Director Mike Heiligenstein told the crowd.

    Interview with Samuel Holmes Interviewer: Kerry Owens Transcriber: Kerry Owens Date of Interview: March 10, 1986 Location: A-J Leasing Company Office, 6500 Middle Fiskville Road, Austin, TX _____________________ Begin Tape 1, Side 1 Kerry Owens: We’re at A-J Leasing, which is Sam’s office, where he works, and we’re doing the interview there. In the interview, if something is left out, if it’s omitted, and we’re going to go back later and fill it in, then I’ll just indicate that with brackets. If there is something that’s left out or a sentence that’s not complete or something to that effect, I’ll just use three dots to indicate that. And, if there’s something that I don’t understand the spelling, etcetera, I’ll just leave a blank and get that information from Sam, and we’ll go back in and fill that in later. Okay, this is Kerry Owens. The first part of that didn’t record. I’m doing an interview for Southwest Texas State University Oral History Project. I’m interviewing Sam Holmes, a porter at A-J Leasing, and I gave the introduction. And [I] also would like to say that Sam and I have discussed this interview to a degree prior to the interview, and he was a bit concerned that he might be asked in some way to compromise on information, but he understands that anything that he wants to edit can be taken out of the tape, and also, Sam, if there is something that you don’t, information that you wouldn’t mind being included at a future date, but you don’t necessarily want it included now, you can put a seal on it for any period of time.
