The other resolution directs city staff to explore a partnership with the Red Line Parkway Initiative, a nonprofit organization that aims to enhance and develop the Red Line Trail and Parkway.
Council Member Leslie Pool said the passing of the resolutions shows a strong commitment to achieving Austin's climate protection goals.
"We know from a 2018 environmental report that single-occupancy vehicles produce 36% of Austin's greenhouse gas emissions," said Pool. "I’m proud that this Council demonstrated its strong commitment to achieving our climate protection goals."
