Open House / Chestnut St. Multi-Modal Corridor Study
Overview
The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) and the City of Bastrop are partnering to develop a plan for multimodal improvements for the Chestnut Street corridor. This Study includes the entirety of SL 150/Chestnut Street from SH 71/SH 21 at Childers Drive to SH 71/SH 95 at Tahitian Drive. The Study will consider improvements to safety and mobility, promote economic development and placemaking, and support environmental stewardship. Using community input, the Study will identify multimodal improvements and recommendations for pedestrians, biking, transit, and other vehicles within the corridor.

Why the Study is Needed
Chestnut Street is a primary thoroughfare through the City of Bastrop. Chestnut Street’s use varies, as does the number of lanes and widths, as it transitions between commercial areas, downtown, and near Bastrop State Park. As the City continues to grow, it’s important to plan for potential transportation improvements that consider vehicles, pedestrians, bikes, and other transportation
modes such as transit all while supporting Chestnut Street’s role as a major thoroughfare and lively street through a thriving downtown.

What the Study Will Accomplish
The Chestnut Street Corridor Study will look at current and projected traffic, anticipated development, and the varied uses along the corridor to identify potential transportation improvements, land uses, and placemaking options. Study recommendations will be broken into short, mid, and long-term improvement projects and strategies.
