Gorzycki/Mills Safe Routes to School

Don't force kids to bike in traffic.

The City's rushed redesign puts people at risk.

The City wants to rip out protected bike lanes near Gorzycki Middle School and Mills Elementary—just months after installing them.

In their place? No real safety upgrades. No fixes for speeding. No solutions for families trying to bike to school. The new plan doesn’t solve a single problem—it just makes things worse.

The City's plan fails our kids.

The City’s redesign puts kids back in traffic, strips away protection, and does nothing to slow speeding cars. It ignores Austin’s Safe Routes to School goals and turns back progress on neighborhood safety. Families shouldn’t have to choose between biking and being safe. We deserve better than a plan that trades real protection and traffic calming for nothing but paint.

A safe route to school shouldn't be a gamble.

Delay the plan.
Fix the design.
Invest in safety.

We’re calling on City leaders to hit pause on this rushed, flawed redesign. Don’t rip out protected lanes while kids are still in school. Take the time to involve the community, redesign the project with real protection, and invest in traffic calming that actually works. We don’t need paint—we need real improvements.
