The actual title here is "Urban Transportation Commission calls on city to narrow traffic lanes," my friend.

It’s worth noting that recommendations by the Urban Transportation Commission are not binding on the city government, and any code changes that might come about as a result of the resolution would likely still take years to effect any transformation of Austin’s streets through the gradual process of road diets, scheduled re-pavings and re-paintings and small infrastructure projects. But that doesn’t mean it can’t happen.
