Most of this right of way is already owned by the city, state, or county. It’s where the telephone poles are dug in and the water lines are buried. Most electrical in the city follows road routes and could be placed under bike lanes, sidewalks, and roads.
Torn up streets are nothing new in Austin. Might as well start integrating it into existing road and sidewalk projects.
