The Waller Creek Tunnel Project is a proposed stormwater bypass tunnel from Waterloo Park to Lady Bird Lake near Waller Beach. The tunnel will be 22-feet in diameter and almost one mile long. The project is expected to remove an estimated 1,243,000 square feet of land from the floodplain of the lower Waller Creek watershed, will allow denser development in a very desirable area of downtown, and divert floodwaters that create erosion problems and safety concerns.
The first Waller Creek Design and Vision Workshop will be at 9am on Saturday, November 17 at Austin City Hall. Doors will open at 8:30am for advance viewing of project displays. Please join us and share your ideas!
