Fiesta season hits San Antonio, plus 10 local events
Plans for several high rises in the South Central Waterfront district—south of downtown and east of Auditorium Shores—are underway. The projects include residences, a hotel and commercial space.

Since the entire neighborhood is not being redevel- oped in one pass, stakeholders said successfully setting up plans for the South Central Waterfront’s future is nec- essary. If that work takes place as envisioned, it could soon become a walkable district home to prime lake- shore and recreational access, shopping opportunities, and transit connections. “The decisions that we’re making today are going to last with us for decades to come,” said District 9 Council Member Zo Qadri, who represents the area.
BY BEN THOMPSON
Austin’s South Central Waterfront District is set to wel- come a wave of new development as decades of planning are reshaping what many hope will be one of the city’s signature districts alongside Lady Bird Lake. One of the area’s centerpiece properties, 305 South Congress, received city approval in late 2022 to move ahead on its transformation into a series of high-rises

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DEEDA: It seems like every day we’re learning of a new high rise to add yet another stair step to our climbing Austin skyline. In our front-page story, we explore the redevelopment of the South Central Waterfront of Lady Bird Lake. While we’re used to reporting skyscrapers one at a time, in this case, like stairs, sometimes you have to take them two at a time to cover it all as this project will add at least six new towers. The sky really is the limit! Deeda Lovett, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM DARCY: This month, we delved into the police contract negotiations and two police oversight ballot measures knowing the topic has invoked strong political feelings. As always, our goal is to provide you with the facts. Our hope is that you read our front-page story and walk into the ballot box understanding what you are voting and which way you wish to cast a ballot—for Proposition A, Proposition B, both or neither. Check out Page 22 for more info. Darcy Sprague, EDITOR

lawsuits and regulatory cases. Rep. Gary VanDeaver, R-New Boston, filed HB 8, which would overhaul the funding system for Texas community colleges with a focus on measurable student outcomes, such as graduation rates and credentials earned. The changes were recom- mended by the Texas Commission on Community College Finance. Phelan also endorsed HBs 4 and 18, filed by Reps. Giovanni Capriglione, R-Southlake, and Shelby Slawson, R-Stephenville, respectively. The bills aim to give Texans more authority in how companies collect and monetize data from themselves and their chil- dren. Many minors are overexposed to social media, which can increase suicide rates and other mental health issues, Slawson said.
Other bills focus on data privacy, Medicaid eligibility and feminine hygiene products. Rep. Morgan Meyer, R-Dallas, filed House Bill 2, also known as the Property Tax Relief Act. According to a news release, the bill would cut school property taxes by 28% and prevent property values from increasing by more than 5% each year. Phelan’s office said this would be the largest property tax cut in Texas history, with a $460 reduction for homeowners in 2024. If HB 2 is approved, Texans could vote on the policy change during the Nov. 7 general election. Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, filed HB 5, which would give substantial tax breaks to corporations

Capital Metro pushes back new MetroRapid routes to 2025
RAPID ROUTE SLOWDOWN Capital Metro is delaying the

and consulting with national experts, CapMetro realized to accommodate depot-only charging, it would need to double the original 40 buses planned for the route, Watkins said. She said each electric bus costs roughly $1 million. To cut costs, CapMetro decided to install overhead charging stations at the end of each route that will top buses o throughout the day. How- ever, that plan requires CapMetro to acquire more land at Pleasant Valley and the Travis County Expo Center. The pivot will also require CapMetro to build its Park & Rides—parking lots where travelers can park their cars and hop on a CapMetro bus—sooner than anticipated. Even without the construction hurdles, the MetroRapid would still have been delayed until the end of 2023 due to supply chain issues with electric buses, Watkins said.

Capital Metro delayed the opening of its MetroRapid lines—high-fre- quency transit lines originally slated to open this summer—until 2025, the transportation organization con- rmed in late February. CapMetro’s two transit lines, Pleasant Valley and Expo Center, are among the rst services to be realized in Project Connect—a multibillion-dollar plan to rethink and expand Austin’s transportation infrastructure passed by voters in November 2020. CapMetro CEO Dottie Watkins said the delay is due to a variety of factors, including challenges using all-electric buses, shipping delays and infrastructure changes. Watkins said the original assump- tion was buses would be swapped out with fully charged buses at a depot. However, after scheduling routes

Recruiting will put together a pro le of what the community wants to see in the next superintendent and share it with the board of trustees March 25, after press time. AISD’s previous superintendent, Stephanie Elizalde, left the district for Dallas ISD in June. After her resig- nation, the district named as interim superintendent Anthony Mays, who left AISD for a Houston-area school district in December. Matias Segura was named interim superintendent in January; however, the board decided he would not be allowed to apply for the permanent position. “When they advertised for an
interim, they wanted someone who would come in and not be considered as a candidate because that could be a deterrent to other potential candi- dates,” Gloria Davis, lead associate with GR Recruiting, said. Davis said potential candidates usually will not apply for the position if they know the interim is also a can- didate because the interim is looked upon as a “shoe-in.” Around the end of May, trustees will select ve to seven semi nalists who will be interviewed in person, Davis said. The district is seeking to hire a candidate by July 1.

on peak weekends, including sum- mer holidays, where the average density was 0.5 acres per boat, which is about twice as congested as the target density, according to the study. On weekdays, the capacity is at an average of 2.34 acres per boat. The watercraft density in the MoPac to Lamar Boulevard area was 12-22 times higher than the average density of the entire lake, per the study. Inadequate parking was considered a concern by 49.1% of respondents. More than 58% of those surveyed expressed strong or moderate concern with lake crowding and 57.2% with trail crowding. Of those surveyed 61.4% sometimes experienced a loss of enjoyment due to lake crowding, per the study. Masino recommended several strategies to deal with the crowding, including monitoring human impact on the lake.
High density of watercraft
AUSTIN Lady Bird Lake receives roughly ve million visitors per year and is often overcapacity, according to a study and survey from research- ers at Huston-Tillotson University. The capacity study of Lady Bird Lake was presented at an Environ- mental Commission meeting March 1 by Amanda Masino, associate pro- fessor of biology and chair of natural sciences at Huston-Tillotson. The study looked at watercrafts— such as kayaks and paddleboards—on the lake and surveyed residents on their perception of crowding. The surface area of Lady Bird Lake is 471 acres, with a target density of 1 to 1.3 acres per watercraft, per the study. Over four days recorded in 2022, the study found a range of 188 watercraft on Friday, June 17, to 1,100 on Saturday, July 2. Recreational capacity was exceeded
