We need to get shade over all the playgrounds, courts and similar areas in our parks. The heat is making them virtually unusable for half the year.

Interesting takeaway from city budget hearing. Austin Roller Derby community practices outdoors at Bartholomew Park near Mueller neighborhood. They'd appreciate the city find room in the budget for some shade in this kind of weather. austinrollerderby.com/

The Statesman covers our lawsuit against TxDOT: “TxDOT is claiming that these three sections [of I-35] are ‘independent utilities’... We are crying foul on that claim. This is obviously one massive highway widening project." 🧐 statesman.com/story/news/loc…
Three Austin-based advocacy groups sue TxDOT over I-35 expansion through Central Texas

The lawsuit claims the state agency improperly split the project into three parts and has failed to properly study its overall impact.

This is something we have been discussing. Would be a great way for the city to recruit and retain employees.

One solution, for public employees, is for AISD, Travis County, UT, City of Austin, and the state of Texas build small apartments on their individual campuses for their employees. Multi-use.

Today, I stood with @VanessaForATX to co-sponsor her reproductive anti-discrimination resolution. Nobody should face housing or employment difficulties based on their deeply private medical decisions, including #abortion. #AbortionIsHealthcare

Replying to @AustinTransit @ATP_org
Curious that the map shows Gold line terminating _in_ the transit center, not at the Orange line rail platform which will be in the center of N Lamar Blvd.

Proposal also redundant to Blue Line terminus at NLTC as it interlines with Orange in voter-approved #ProjectConnect map. Changes would direct Gold Line high capacity transit toward West Austin and away from potential northeast Austin extensions, termini & those communities. 4/4
Austin Coalition for Transit (@AustinTransit) profile pictureAustin Coalition for Transit@AustinTransit17 May 2022
The concern is that this redundancy, that is serving the same corridor and same phase one terminus of the Orange Line, may effectively capture 2,700 trips which would enhance the Gold Line's FTA project rating at the expense of previously-planned, voter-approved FTA projects. 3/

Remember last May when @TxDOTAustin imploded this flyover from NB I-35 to NB US 183, closing it for months, to extend it? The flyover is going to close again for up to a week in June as crews make adjustments to "smooth the ride" on the flyover, a spokesperson tells @KVUE.
