Construction begins next month to finally connect West Gate Blvd across that green area that currently is a dead end; if you are going south on West Gate from, for example, William Cannon Dr, you can’t drive all the way down to Slaughter LN, you have to make a crazy detour at on Cameron Loop through a section of Cherry Creek, then you can pick West Gate Blvd up again at Cohoba Dr, and continue on to Slaughter LN. This is a long standing pain in the neck for South Austin Residents, Especially if you live near the dead end. Plus some of those back roads are very narrow and curvy and are not fun to drive at night. I would expect that a stop light will eventually appear at West Gate and Cameron Loop which hopefully will assuage concerns about speed.
