Help Design the South Austin Waterfront

On Thursday at 8:30 p.m., the city of Austin is inviting residents to check out their designs for the South Austin waterfront on Lady Bird Lake and share your input.

The Design Workshops will be held at the Texas School for the Deaf, 1102 S. Congress Ave., Austin. Access the campus through the main entrance on South Congress Avenue.

The designs are part of an initiative to plan “how the area could transform with green infrastructure – a connected network of tree-lined streets, urban trails, parks, and open spaces that integrate landscape, public art, and technologies to make beautiful people-oriented places, alongside environmental benefits.”

The event is family-friendly and will feature a petting zoo, face painting, and ice cream.
