SRCC Neighborhood Association

Saturday April 14th is Keep Austin Beautiful Day. This event is hosted each year by Keep Austin Beautiful, and was previously named Clean Sweep. The goal is for volunteers to remove trash and beautify local parks.

This is a great opportunity to spend some time with neighbors and make a difference in the neighborhood.

There are 2 parks within the SRCC area that are participating:

• Heritage Oaks Park is a pocket park in the SRCC area east of I-35. Richard Whymark (richard@apiproductions.com) gave us an update on this park at the April SRCC meeting. On KAB Day from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM volunteers are going to clean beer cans out of the bamboo, pull trash out of the pond, and pick up micro-trash from the grass.
• Please join the Blunn Creek Partnership for a Keep Austin Beautiful volunteer day at Blunn Creek Nature Preserve, this coming Saturday, April 14th, from 8:30 AM to noon. We will meet at 1100 St. Edward’s Drive, the southwest entrance to the Preserve, to do another round of removing invasives, planting natives, and doing general clean-up and fix-up. Please come! Thanks, David Todd

At the April 2nd SRCC General Membership meeting, Marjorie Flanagan with Art in Public Places (AIPP) presented about the AIPP component of the ongoing Little Stacy Park Improvement Project. The presentation included some information about the AIPP program and process, as well as specific thoughts related to the Little Stacy project.

Here is a link to the presentation.

Marjorie is asking for feedback from neighborhood members about the preferred location and goals for the artwork. You can contact Marjorie directly at Marjorie.Flanagan@austintexas.gov. Please provide any feedback by April 30th.
