wow, the big tree that used to lean over the shoal creek trail just north of the 9th st bridge at duncan park is a goner - guess it was dying or something
on the bright side, you can bike on this part of the trail now without needing to slow down or duck your head

This one's for the peds! Austin Transportation & Public Works is turning the old section of Red River alongside Waterloo Park into a new public plaza made for people, not cars 👌

Survey for the University Neighborhood Overlay update is out!
Staff propose amending the borders and boosting height limits in all of the subdistricts. I think council should push harder on the boundaries but the increased density is great to see.
