Join Watershed Protection Department staff for a FREE training on developing restoration plans for riparian areas. This class is hosted by the Austin Parks Foundation and these plans will be required to guide future volunteer efforts in City parks. The class will perform a brief creek walk, evaluate the area for potential restoration and develop a plan based on a restoration template.

The following post is reprinted from an article written by Wendy Todd for the SRCC Fall 2015 Neighborhood Newsletter. You can read the full newsletter here.
There are three projects currently underway affecting the South Central Waterfront (SCW): an environmental proposal, an economic analysis, and a streetscape effort. The South Central Waterfront encompasses 97 acres located just south of downtown and bounded by South First on the west, Blunn Creek to the east, Lady Bird Lake on the north, and East Riverside Drive and Bouldin Creek on the south and includes the South River City Citizens (SRCC), and Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association (BCNA) as well as having portions included in the Downtown Public Improvement District (PID) which is administered by the Downtown Austin Alliance (DAA).
Here’s a friendly reminder that SRCC officer elections are held annually at our March general membership meeting. In particular, if you are interested in serving as president or vice president, or would like to nominate someone, please contact Tune at president@srccatx.org or Gretchen at vicepresident@srccatx.org.
The Little Stacy Park Improvement project is in the community input stage where community stakeholders will be able to share their thoughts and ideas regarding improvements to park areas like the tennis courts, wading pool, and playground. With public input, the project will create a preliminary design.
The first public engagement session with the neighborhood was held August 29 and the second was held October 24. The city is seeking as much input as possible from the neighborhood in this their final design phase. The deadline for final input is Thursday, November 26.
