NORWOOD FENCE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

DSC_3180fence Here’s some neighbors pulling for Norwood!

 

DSC_3157fence DSC_3194fenceThanks to a great group of volunteers, the fence in front of the Norwood House has been re-positioned. The task was completed in under two hours and ended with a mini feast of tamales, queso, chips, guacamole and salsa donated by Guero’s.

2014 is the year of real change….there will be many more opportunities to help!

South Central Waterfront Walkabout on Jan 11th, 10am-12

There’s a new South Central Waterfront Plan Initiative launching in January 2013. The South Central Waterfront Plan will establish a vision and provide a cohesive set of recommendations to guide public and private development over the next 20-plus years.

The Plan will help ensure that privately developed properties and publicly financed amenities will work in tandem to create a beautiful public realm that supports a lively, attractive pedestrian environment, creates great public spaces, and enhances connections to and along the waterfront.

To kick off this whole process there will be a city organized  walkabout on January 11th to help familiarize everyone with the properties in question and the scope of the project.  You can read all the details here: http://www.austintexas.gov/event/waterfront-walkabout.

Here are a few details:

  • 505 Barton Springs Road. Google directions: http://bit.ly/transitdirections
  • Meet in the lobby of One Texas Center building (Barton Springs Rd. & South First St.).
  • The event will take place rain or shine.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes and clothes. Be prepared to walk 1.5 miles outside for about 2 hours.
  • Family-friendly! Pets allowed out on the trail. Bike and vehicle parking available.
  • Light refreshments will be provided.

To learn more about this effort, visit the official city website: http://www.austintexas.gov/waterfront

Garret Nick has volunteered to represent the SRCC during this process but the walkabout is open to the public.
