This weekend is the 15th annual Lonestar Roundup, an outdoor hot rod show which theoretically is located at the Travis County Expo Center, but which always brings significantly increased traffic to South Congress as attendees cruise up and down the street on Friday and Saturday evening. APD is going to close all cross-streets that cross Congress between Academy and Live Oak. Streets will be barricaded with police presence. Right turns are allowed in some cases but no left turns. APD says they will let only residents enter in order to reduce the impact on our neighborhood. There will be APD ATVs out and about checking for parking and enforcing laws around the neighborhood.
Please try to plan your trips to avoid the area entirely. For more information or help with a problem, please contact our APD rep Officer Gabriel Guillen at gabriel.guillen@austintexas.gov.
