- progress at the site of the upcoming building next to the hyatt regency
- crane coming down for the waterline tower on rainey st - at 1,025 ft tall, it becomes austin's first supertall tower, surpassing the chase tower in houston as the tallest tower in TX
- initial rendering of new potential dirty 6th street plan an early '26 study will explore final design decision despite pro-bike lane feedback, the city wants to prioritize foot traffic on 6th itself - staff will explore opps to add/improve E-W bike lanes on other DT streets to improve bike network
- wishbone bridge opening is imminent...

- construction progress on sixth&blanco (previously named clarksvillage) can't we get more interesting building names than a development's cross streets? 🥱
- "2 way streets...have a record of decreasing congestion, benefiting local businesses, increasing safety, & helping first responders to get through" "in Louisville, KY, 2-way street conversion resulted in -49% crashes, +39% property value, & -23% crime" www.kvue.com/article/news...
- 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
- the belvedere construction coming along nicely
- 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 👌 Submit your feedback for the visioning phase before 12/1 to influence the plaza design: speakupaustin.org/PikePowersPlaza
- the rendering vs final result for the rooftop of the new colorfield condos at the base of castle hill lol... at least it's an (artificial) green roof 🤧
- curious about this new art installation (?) that was installed at duncan park
- the tunnel under pleasant valley near the dam is looking great
- double rainbow over zilker this evening
- downtown austin from the east

- this structure (near scholz garten) most recently used as a megabus station has lots of restaurant or bar potential IMO
- it's happening - demo prep has begun at the convention center site. trinity is currently completely blocked off for car traffic but the protected bike lane btwn 3rd and 4th is open 👌
- progress on the waterline tower looking out at SE downtown
- love this building but it's insane that it was converted into a private office... would have been a stunning seaholm food hall
- my favorite historic downtown house ft republic tower under construction in the background
- progress on the town lake trail wishbone bridge by the longhorn dam - bridge is set to open next spring
- additional convention center renderings
- first rendering of the $1.6B austin convention center rebuild work begins when the current building closes in april and is slated wrap around late '28/'29 convention space will be underground and 3rd st will be reconnected as a road with 2nd st and a neches extension reconnected for pedestrians
