Betina, before assuming that more and larger roads will enhance the quaility of life by traffic problems, keep in mind that most of the growth is in outlying areas.
I live in an established neighborhood that in comparison is rather close to central Austin. We're not going to see any more growth...in fact, road construction has negatively impacted my neighborhood. Those new roads facilitate traffic THROUGH my neighborhood and make my area more unpleasant to live in. It's better in my humble opinion to build roads in areas that are growing.
We should not encourage urban sprawl. I am very happy about all the downtown living space being built. I've lived in Austin since 1991 and all said, I think the city, county and state are doing a reasonable job in managing traffic and investing staggering amounts of money in highway construction: the expansion of 183 to beyond Cedar ParK, 45, I-130....I mean come on! The population needs to back (by voting to fund) and use light rail and other means of public transportation.
