Austin nursing shortage builds Hospitals struggle to sta beds as delta variant rages
BY OLIVIA ALDRIDGE
“[Our workers] honored those a ected by COVID-19. ... For many, that includes family and friends,” Bay- lor Scott & White Health, St. David’s HealthCare and Ascension Seton said in a joint statement. “Health care workers have shown incredible cour- age and resiliency. Today was a time to honor their continued work.” But after 18months of pandemic con- ditions, the ranks of thoseworkerswere smaller—especially among nurses.
On Sept. 3, nurses in Austin’s three major hospital systems paused for a moment of silence to observe one year and six months since the rst COVID-19 case was reported in the state. By then, Austinwas in themidst of its third catastrophic coronavirus surge. Hospitals in Austin’s 11-county trauma service region had treated more than 134,000 coronavirus patients, and Travis County was within a week of recording 1,000 deaths from the virus.

FEATURED IMPACT COMING SOON Seven years ago, Leslie Paetschow adopted a dog—Shiner—estimated to be 1 year old, not realizing just how much energy he would have to burn. His need to run led Paetschow to spend two to three hours at dog parks in the city six days per week. Paetschow, who has worked in corporate and startup environments, found the trips relaxing enough but thought drinking a beer while he played would be even better. Now, her combined dog park and bar, The Watering Bowl , is set to open in mid- October at 820 FM 620 1626, Austin. She said she hopes the business will help South Austinites fully disconnect from work and stress. Entrance will cost between $10 for a one day, one dog pass to $300 for
one dog’s annual membership. No one under 21 will be allowed into the park. Once in the park, attendants called “ru erees” will supervise dogs and visitors can have a drink or buy food from the snack bars. The park will also o er dog training courses, merchandise and members-only events. www.thewateringbowlatx.com

“This is my little girl. About a year ago she had recurring ear infections and a perforated ear drum so we headed off to the local hospital to get tubes in her ears. After a 15-minute procedure we got the bill: $8,000! Then our health insurance plan said they weren’t going to pay for it because it was not “medically necessary.” We had done everything right yet when we needed health insurance they wouldn’t pay for basic healthcare needs.

SOUTHWEST AUSTIN DRIPPING SPRINGS EDITION • SEPTEMBER 2021
TRANSPORTATIONUPDATES Austin Council members join opposition for TxDOT I 35 plan Four Austin City Council members and a growing coalition of transportation advocates and neighborhood businesses oppose the Texas Department of Transportation’s plan to expand I-35 to 20 lanes. The group highlighted the implications for 140 businesses that could be displaced at a Sept. 1. press conference “TxDOT’s expansion is the crazy radical proposal,” co-founder of Rethink35 Adam Green eld said. During the news conference at Stars Cafe, Council Members Natasha Harper-Madison, Paige Ellis, Kathie Tovo and Greg Casar expressed additional concerns, including that it would not address the environmental impact and that it does not do enough to connect East and West Austin. “We want to get a roadway design that minimizes the impact on the surrounding area,” Tovo said. “We want to see one that really focuses and prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists.” Several opposition groups are o ering up other plans for I-35, including turning it into a boulevard or putting part of it underground.

Judge denies motion to block Oak Hill Parkway construction The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas denied a motion to halt the construc- tion of the Oak Hill Parkway in Southwest Austin on Sept. 13. Judge Robert Pitman found in his ruling that the state trans- portation agency had provided su cient detail around the construction’s environmental impact, which plainti s said did not account for the project’s concrete batch plant. The $674 million project broke ground in July and will add a 12-lane free- way through the Y in Southwest Austin. TxDOT estimates it will be open to tra c in 2026.

The Capital Metro board of directors approved the establishment of a Capital Metro police force Aug. 30. The proposal drew criticism from community groups who say that Capital Metro should conduct additional research before moving forward. Awais Azhar, a member of the Planning Our Communities leadership team, serves on the Capital Metro diversity, equity and inclusion committee. He said he needs to see data to convince him that a transit police force is necessary. “It’s a really big decision, and creating a whole new transit police, Capital Metro to establish police force

we’ve never had one—we’ve had security but that’s di erent—but this would be a whole other department within Capital Metro,” Azhar said. “And I think there’s a strong need to assess whether there’s an actual need for it.” Capital Metro conducted a survey in the spring that found 80% of riders indicated that “security is good” and
they “do not seem to fault CapMetro for safety issues.” It also found that 63% of Capital Metro front-line sta feel security needs to be improved. “I think we have an imperative as a board to do everything we can as quickly as we can to protect our front- line personnel,” Capital Metro board chair Wade Cooper said.

Austin tra c remains belowpre-pandemic levels after school starts
BY BENTON GRAHAM & TRENT THOMPSON
Additionally, AISD shifted to allow for students too young to receive a vaccine, kindergarten through sixth grade, to attend classes virtually. According to the district, 4.6% of AISD’s student body decided to attend school virtually this fall. “SINCE THE PANDEMIC, EVEN AS TRAFFIC COMES BACK, IT’S BEEN A LOT MORE FLAT OF A CURVE, LIKE NOT AS MUCH PEAKING AND MORE SPREAD OUT.”
That dip in peak rush-hour tra c had the unintended e ect of giving construction crews more time to work on road and development projects throughout the city, due to the city allowing more construction during peak times. In 2020, the city’s development-related right of way permits increased by 6.5% compared to 2019. The 4,200 active daily permits in August 2021 also exceeded pre-pandemic gures, which typically sat around 3,000. Typically, the transportation department prohibits temporary lane closures on heavily tra cked roads during peak hours, such as from 7-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. However, fromMarch 2020 to Aug. 9, 2021, the program was suspended due to the reduced tra c, giving some crews four more hours to work on projects. Even though tra c has not increased to pre- pandemic levels, the open road hours are still in e ect. ”We can say anecdotally we had a number of customers report to us that being able to work during typical open road hours prior to May of 2021 really allowed them to accelerate their construction schedules. But it’s just business as usual now,” said Paloma Amayo-Ryan, programmanager with the city’s transportation department.
The Austin Transportation Department prepared for tra c to increase as schools in the Austin area welcomed students back to in-person learning, but that surge never materialized. “In the early summer, we were starting to see an increase of a few percent a month, volumes coming back,” said Jen Duthie, managing engineer of the transportation department’s arterial management division. “We were thinking by the fall, we would be back to typical tra c conditions.” That is because when classes return to session, Austin morning tra c typically sees a 10% increase, Duthie added. However, ATD data from August shows that, despite a minor increase, tra c peaks have not fully returned. During the week of Aug. 22, overall tra c volume was down 11% and the morning peak down 20% compared to the week of Feb. 2, 2020, the department’s pre-pandemic baseline. Some of the largest schools in Austin began classes in mid- to late August, including Austin ISD on Aug. 17, Austin Community College on Aug. 23 and the University of Texas on Aug. 25. Duthie said the lack of tra c peaks could be a result of COVID-19 cases surging due to the delta variant or simply more people working from home than prior to the pandemic.
JEN DUTHIE, MANAGING ENGINEER OF THE AUSTIN TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT’S ARTERIAL MANAGEMENT DIVISION
Duthie also said that tra c patterns in general have attened since the start of the pandemic. “Typical conditions pre-pandemic were we would see a morning peak in tra c and an afternoon or evening peak in tra c,” Duthie said. “Since the pandemic, even as tra c comes back, it’s been a lot more at of a curve, like not as much peaking and more spread out.”

DEVELOPMENT A ordable housing development raises safety concerns
FOX HOLLOW DEVELOPMENT
Some neighbors are concerned a new a ordable housing will endanger its residents, but the city asserts that it will mitigate the risks through its development process.
2 ROAD SAFETY The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan categorizes Brandt Road as a “substandard street,” meaning there is no curb and gutter, sidewalk or bike lanes. TOP CONCERNS

The nearest city bus stop to the proposed complex is about a 1.5- mile walk that crosses I-35.
BY MAGGIE QUINLAN
Developers hope to transform a wooded area just east of I-35 into a low-income apartment complex, but locals are concerned the location is not safe. “The reality in Austin, Texas, today is that the majority of renters cannot a ord this next step to home ownership, which then creates the demand for three- and four-bedroom units,” said Suzanne Schwertner, director of development at the Housing Authority of the city of Austin, at an Aug. 17 zoning and platting commission meeting. Schwertner said 156 of the Fox Hollow development’s 203 a ordable apartments at 2117 Brandt Road developed by LDG Development would be two-, three- and four- bedroom units available for families making less the Austin’s Median Family Income. The project would be funded by federal tax credits rather than city money. Neighbors of the proposed development argued that the location would put the building’s residents at risk due to a history of ooding in the area, said Jon Iken, Slaughter Creek HOA vice president. Iken also pointed to road safety, adding that reaching the nearest bus stop would require walking along Brandt, which has no shoulder or sidewalk. J Segura, an engineer presenting the plan to the commission, said residents of the neighborhood had valid concerns but that many details, including mitigation for building on the ood plain, would be addressed at the site development permit stage, if City Council rst approved the developer’s request to rezone the area. Segura also said builders would need to construct sidewalks per the city code but added that sidewalks would not run along the front of the development, though future development could a ect sidewalk plans. Segura said in a Sept. 1 email that mitigation could mean modifying the ood

plain, though it could not be raised and could not be altered in a way that would have adverse e ects on nearby properties or the environment. Engineers could also survey the area to get a more accurate model than currently exists and build based on that new understanding of the ood plain, he said. Either way, the city would review plans to make sure they are sound. “Flood plain modi cations are never easy and best avoided if possible,” Segura wrote. City Attorney Wendy Rhoades said at the meeting that because of the location near the ood plain and near tributaries, the developer’s footprint would be constrained and might result in fewer apartments. “This project just makes me queasy,” said Jolene Kiolbassa, a member of the zoning and
platting commission. Kiolbassa said a ordable housing should “meet the bar” in certain areas, such as not being on a substandard road like Brandt and not being near or adjacent to an area where people have been ooded out. Schwertner said moving any farther west means a signi cant increase in land prices. “The exchange we’re making here against all the other concerns,” Timothy Bray, another member of the commission, said, “is 200 families having a chance to live in the city of Austin. Because we will not really get this housing elsewhere, is my interpretation of this.” City Council is scheduled to vote on the proposed rezoning around 2 p.m. Sept. 30.
