Help win a car-free Drag

The Drag could be going car-free! The Project Connect team has proposed an exciting plan (known as Scenario C2*) for a car-free Drag (Guadalupe St from 22nd-29th) that would include:

Light rail and fast buses
Protected bicycle lanes on BOTH sides of the street
Beautiful wide sidewalks for cafes, trees, and pedestrians

Imagine how incredible this would be! The Drag would become far more beautiful and pleasant. Trains, buses, and bicycles would glide smoothly along without any automobile traffic. Instead of loud cars, we'll enjoy bustling sidewalks, outdoor cafes, and the calming sound of trains and voices.

We CAN win this, but only with YOUR help.

* Scenario C2 would include dedicated protected bicycle lanes and a shared right-of-way for light rail and buses. This would be far better than Scenario C1 where bikes and buses would share a lane, meaning buses would get caught behind bikes and less confident bicycle riders might stay away. Find out more.
