but yeah would love to see 15th destroadified
this structure (near scholz garten) most recently used as a megabus station has lots of restaurant or bar potential IMO

love this building but it's insane that it was converted into a private office... would have been a stunning seaholm food hall

the center will feature new street-level retail & dining options around the site. some of the property will be public park/plaza space and there will be 10 local artist installations
map legend:
navy line = vehicle road
orange lines = pedestrian path

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
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.

austin: the extra road parallel to 3rd st directly north of the seaholm area (near the DT trader joe's) is finally being converted into a pedestrian plaza 👌

super cool historic home nestled on a cliffside in west campus:
the midcentury thomas m. cranfill house (designed in 1952 by UT’s architecture school's first dean, harwell hamilton harris) looks out on a panoramic view of downtown austin
📍1901 cliff st.
the closed austin java location on the edge of DT/clarksville (1206 parkway) that's been empty since 2017 is finally being inhabited soon by shug's bagels
looks like they're doing some work on the building but aren't starting from scratch
