Austin City Council races and the city's $720 million mobility bond topped the list of 2016 elections put before voters last week, but there were also a slew of other races to decide. Here is how Election Day races specific to Northwest Austin turned out, according to unofficial results. Austin mobility bond
  • For: 59.1 percent
  • Against: 40.9 percent Total votes cast: 311,225 
City staff has wasted little time outlining the next steps for implementing the mobility bond, which drew support from voters throughout Austin. The bond includes three project categories, with $482 million earmarked for implementing parts of the city’s seven completed corridor plans as well as studying a new corridor plan in South Austin. Another $101 million would go toward regional mobility projects, and the remaining $137 million would be spent on local road projects and implementing parts of the city’s sidewalk, bicycle, urban trails and fatality-reduction plans.
