A project survey was available from June 10 through July 10 to collect community feedback on the different alternatives, including a no build option, as well as the proposed interim improvements. Austin Transportation and Public Works Department shared five bridge alternatives that were developed from community input received in late 2018. Of the five bridge alternatives and the no build option, Alternative B (Wishbone shaped bridge that connects to the shore at three points) received the most overall support, with 742 responses selecting this alternative as their top choice and 1,419 responses indicating they were "very comfortable" or "somewhat comfortable" with Alternative B.
