A survey with a purpose

Have your say in the process that will guide updates on the corridor’s creation.

Canvass data collected in the 2024 survey will inform updates on the creation and expansion of the 5th Street Corridor and its mission to transform this rich downtown area into a beautiful and educational destination for tourists and the Austin community alike.
