The City of Austin, in partnership with the Downtown Austin Alliance (DAA) and various community stakeholder groups, is developing a new vision for Congress Avenue. This new vision will provide direction for an urban design initiative, which will inform plans for future improvements to Congress Avenue. It will also include preliminary engineering.
Design began in early 2016, and City staff are currently soliciting feedback from local businesses, residents and the city of Austin at large to determine project scope and design features. Visit the website below to learn more and to fill out surveys on specific topics related to mobility and connectivity, culture and history, economics, the environment and social justice.

HISTORY HUNT IN BLUE BONNET HILLS!
SATURDAY, MAY 20
9AM-11AM
BLUNN CREEK GREENBELT, NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF EAST SIDE AND LOCKHART DRIVES
FREE! (RSVP REQUIRED)
Preservation Austin’s annual History Hunt is coming to Blue Bonnet Hills! This architectural scavenger hunt engages K-5 aged children and their families in learning about Austin’s historic neighborhoods. This year’s event will be their first in South Austin. Families will follow clues to (top secret) stops throughout Blue Bonnet Hills, learning about architectural elements and the neighborhood’s history along the way. Sack races, hula hoops, and other activities will abound. Refreshments will be provided at the finish line, where prizes will be awarded to the race champions.
The Blue Bonnet Hills neighborhood encompasses approximately four blocks and 22 acres. The boundaries follow those of the “Blue Bonnet Hills Addition, being the Paul Pfeifer Subdivision,†platted in 1928. The boundaries are E. Annie Street to the north, East Side Drive to the east, and Leland Street to the south. To the west, the boundaries are Newning Avenue and Brackenridge Street. This area was platted in 1928 and includes many Craftsman style homes built in the 1930s, as well as some Minimal Traditionalist and Tudor Revivals.
This event is free! All children must have an adult chaperone. RSVP to Programs Coordinator Lindsey Derrington at programs@preservationaustin.org is required by Monday, May 15.
