ctrma logoThe Austin Business Journal reports that the CTRMA has issued requests for proposals (RFP) for financing of the toll roads recently approved in the CAMPO TIP (SH 45 SW from Loop 1 S to FM 1626, US 290E from US 183 to SH 130, US 183 from Springdale to Patton, SH 71 E from Riverside Dr. to US 183, and the “Y” at Oak Hill).   Proposals are expected to be in by April, at which time the CTRMA will also have a better idea of how TXDOT cutbacks will impact the projects.  Also still on the CAMPO / CTRMA discussion table is the possibility of the RMA taking over some design projects that could be adversely impacted by TXDOT’s budget woes.
