SUMMARY: The Austin City Council is considering financial aspects of the proposed Our Future 35 plan, which would include deck plazas over the Interstate 35 expansion near downtown. The plan envisions community and green spaces, pavilions, and public art, with possible locations for University of Texas at Austin-spearheaded caps also outlined. Costs are projected to be around $509 million for roadway elements and are separate from the costs for the deck plazas and amenities.
