The City of Austin said it continued making progress for those experiencing homelessness in Austin through the Housing-focused Encampment Assistance Link Initiative.
The city installed chain link fencing topped with rows of barbed wire underneath U.S. 290 between South Lamar Blvd. and Pack Saddle Pass. According to the Austin Transportation Department, this is part of what's known as a "placemaking project" that will also involve the Texas Department of Transportation.
