The new QR scanners are great, way more responsive than the old ones. Still looking forward to just tapping my credit card though.

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. publicinput.com/w11878

Great example of the impact of the Affordability Unlocked compatibility waiver @ 1309 Chicon. Without the waiver a quarter of the lot would be in the no-build buffer and another quarter would be limited to 40 ft.

Honorable City Council, Commissioners, and Staff: DANA supports single-stair reform as part of the city’s local amendments to the International Building Code. We oppose regulations that limit the feasibility of single-stair buildings up to 85 feet or up to seven stories. 🧵

Game-plan... Subject to change. All signs point to accumulating snow from Central to Southeast Texas Monday night through Tuesday morning. Disaster? No. Hazardous travel? Yes. Winter wonderland? Here's to hoping

New MLK/Springdale/Heflin intersection just dropped. I like it, only comment is that I wish the MLK/Springdale slip lane had a raised pedestrian crosswalk.

Another rezoning filed just west of downtown, this time for a 300 unit DB90 project. Feels like every other lot in this area is getting rezoned.

There's an item on the next council agenda to remove and merge a bunch of boards and commissions. Most notably the Zoning and Platting Commission would handle all zoning cases and Planning Commission would focus on code amendments. services.austintexas.gov/edims/docume...

Mixed-use / mid-rise rezoning filed for several lots near 34th & West Ave. It's concerning that this rezoning is even necessary given that these lots are already zoned for ETOD. Another sign ETOD is not getting the job done. abc.austintexas.gov/web/permit/p...

Some folks in the neighborhood were very unhappy about this redesign but this intersection is way safer now. E-W traffic can no longer blow through the intersection at 40 mph and all users are more attentive
