East Side Drive Stream Restoration Project – UPDATE

Posted on June 11, 2013 by Communications

The City of Austin continues to restore the reach of Blunn Creek between Woodland Avenue and Monroe Street. As part of the construction project, the trail system will occasionally have detour signs posted to reroute trail users around the construction project. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes while using the trail system.

As of June 11, 2013, trail detour signs will be posted north and south of Monroe Street to redirect all trail users to the trail crossing at street level at the intersection of Monroe Street and East Side Drive. The trail route that goes under Monroe will be closed for approximately six months while the construction project is in this area. For your safety, please do not try to access the trail system below Monroe Drive while the signs are posted and the construction project is in this area.

Please contact Kristin Pipkin at (512)974-3315 with the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department with any questions or concerns.

The Fourth of July Parade And Picnic Are BACK!

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Communications

After a little time off, we will once again have a fantastic Fourth of July Parade and Picnic in our neighborhood! The theme of this event is EASY and FUN so come on out with the whole family to celebrate. There will be a parade down East Side Drive starting at 11:15AM ending at Little Stacy Park. At the park there will be our traditional pot-luck picnic and there will be a performance by The Jitterbug Vipers featuring the legendary Slim Richey as well as some other performances in the works. So, put on your red, white, and blue, whip up something good to eat, and mosey on down for a easy and fun way to celebrate the U.S. of A.

If anyone is interested in helping with the organization, please contact Gretchen Harries Graham at oceansgretchen@gmail.com

Congress Avenue Baptist Church Seeks Zoning Change

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Communications

The Congress Avenue Baptist Church is asking to up-zone the back half of their lot that faces Nickerson from SF-3 to GR with a Conditional Overlay. The church has “civic use” which allows them to build structures like buildings and parking lots on SF-3 zoned land as long as it is for church use. Recently, CABC started leasing out their parking lot to HomeSlice for overflow parking but this is technically not allowed due to it not being a church-specific use. Despite no complaints from the neighborhood, they are attempting to get the necessary zoning for this use to be legal.

While CABC is proposing to limit the GR zoning to only parking use, the up-zoning of that portion of the lof from SF-3 is potentially problematic for the direct neighbors. It could allow CABC to do more intensive parking usage on the lot and it potentially opens the door to non residential development by a future owner of the property.
