Dobie Garage Demolition
Project Summary
The project will begin with demolishing the Dobie Center garage, which involves dismantling and removing the existing parking structure to make way for future construction.
Project Location: The Dobie Garage Center is situated between W 20th and W 21st Streets and Whitis and University Avenues.
Project Impacts
Pedestrian Impacts: Pedestrians will be rerouted to the west side of Whitis Avenue, the south side of 20th Street, and the east side of University Avenue due to sidewalk closures on the east side of Whitis Avenue, the north side from 20th Street from Whitis Avenue to University Avenue, and the west side of University Avenue from 20th Street.
Travel Impacts: The project will involve several significant closures to facilitate construction and ensure safety. Whitis Avenue's northbound lane and University's Southbound lane between 20th and 21st streets will be closed, with detour signage directing traffic to alternate streets accordingly. Street parking areas along Whitis, 20th, and University will be impacted. The initial phases of this construction include work to major utilities located in and around all adjacent streets. Additional intermittent, short-term road closures and traffic pattern adjustments will be necessary.
Bicycle Impacts: The project will not impact existing bike lanes or bike racks. There are no designated bike lanes around this project. Bicyclists are always encouraged to refer to the City of Austin Bike Map.
Parking Impacts: Street parking will be unavailable on the east side of Whitis Ave, the north side of 20th Street, and the west side of University Avenue.
Signage will be installed at key locations to assist with wayfinding. Due to the fluid nature of construction, this information is subject to change, but we will do our best to provide timely communication if changes are necessary.
