T H AT A L M O S T CRASHED THE GRID MINUTES In the wee hours of Feb. 15, a winter storm sent a freeze over Texas, knocking out power supply while demand skyrocketed from Texans trying to keep warm. To save the grid from collapse, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas had to maintain a healthy pulse between supply and demand. So, as supply dipped, o cials at ERCOT had to tell utilities to unplug an unprecedented amount of power. 40 VOLUME 13, ISSUE 12 MARCH 25 APRIL 21, 2021 SOUTHWEST AUSTIN DRIPPING SPRINGS EDITION

TRANSPORTATIONUPDATES Park& ride facility at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center inching closer to reality Local officials are pushing

NEWPARK&RIDES Project Connect, the $7.1 billion transportation plan approved by voters Nov. 3, provided $60 million for nine new park & rides.
one in Southwest Austin. A spokesperson from the public transportation agency said funding from that investment can be in conjunction with partnership agreements with other agencies to fund the new facility. According to the Mobility Authority, the next steps involve staff of Capital Metro, the Wildflower Center and the Mobility Authority meeting to coordinate plans in advance of a possible public meeting. Timeline: TBD Cost: $15 million-$25 million Funding source: TBD
Organization and the Mobility Authority entered into an agreement in 2016 identifying park & ride sites in targeted areas, including the Wildflower Center at 4801 La Crosse Ave., Austin. Mobility Authority board member Nikelle Meade said progress at the Southwest Austin site is overdue. “It feels like we’ve been doing concept design at least at the Wildflower Center for a few years. What is the impediment?” Meade asked Dailey at a Feb. 24 board meeting. Capital Metro’s Project Connect plan approved in
to see action to build a park & ride at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center near MoPac. The Southwest Austin site could serve a dual purpose, according to Central Texas Mobility Authority deputy executive director Jeff Dailey. It could lessen street parking around the Wildflower Center and adjacent Veloway by expanding on-site parking options while also providing a connection to public transportation routes.

ONGOING PROJECT 1 I-35 project spanning William Cannon Drive and Stassney Lane still on track to finish mid-year Ongoing work along I-35 spanning the intersections of William Cannon Drive and Stassney Lane is still on schedule to finish in mid-2021. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, winter storms and freezing temperatures that swept the state the week of Feb. 14 did not delay progress on the project, which was originally scheduled to finish by the end of 2020. Crews are continuing work to construct curbs and gutters, pave the main lanes and install shared-use paths. The five-year project includes paving along the stretch of road in South Austin from approximately Boggy Creek to SH 71, reconstruction of the bridges spanning I-35 at Stassney and William Cannon and widening the highway’s main lanes to help drivers merge.
FUTURE PROJECT 2 Feedback open for I-35 project through downtown A massive $4.9 billion project to reduce traffic across the 8-mile stretch of I-35 through downtown Austin is going through the process of gathering public feedback in order to finalize design. A virtual public scoping meeting opened March 11 and will run through April 9, allowing residents to view three conceptual designs for the project and provide their thoughts. This is the second public scoping meeting TxDOT has held—the first was in December. The project will add two nontolled managed lanes to the Central Austin stretch of I-35 for vehicles such as public transit buses, vanpools and carpools. However, there has not yet been a decision on the final design, which could include taking down the upper decks from Airport Boulevard to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Texas educators noweligible for COVID-19 vaccines
TEXAS Educators and child care workers across the state became eligible to receive coronavirus vaccines March 3. The Texas Department of State Health Services announced the eligibility one day after a federal directive ordered states to make vaccines immediately available to educators, specifically those who work in “pre-primary, primary, and secondary schools, as well as Head Start and Early Head Start programs,” including teachers, staff and bus
drivers. Licensed child care providers are also included in the directive. Educators and school staff throughout Texas had lobbied to be included among the first groups of people vaccinated since the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were authorized by the federal Food and Drug Administration in December. Before the eligibility change, only those teachers who are over the age of 65 or have high- risk medical conditions were able to receive vaccines.
EXPANDING ELIGIBILITY Thousands more Austin-area residents are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine after the state expanded eligibility to school employees. In addition to school employees, day care workers and substitute teachers are also now eligible to receive the vaccine.

As vaccine distribution expands, Austin Public Healthworks through tech issues
CENTRAL TEXAS VACCINEBREAKDOWN
To reach herd immunity, Texas will need between 70-90% of its population vaccinated. Numbers are accurate as of March 22. Fully vaccinated Remaining population 16+
BY OLIVIA ALDRIDGE & JACK FLAGLER
O cials have spoken consistently about the need for better tech infrastructure at every level of public health. “I think one of the biggest failures of public health across the country has been its investment in information technology,” Austin- Travis County interim Health Authority Dr. Mark Escott said March 5. The state has said essential workers will likely gain eligibility this spring, and President Joe Biden has announced plans that all adults will be eligible to receive a vaccine by May 1. People outside the current eligibility criteria have still found ways to get a vaccine. Clinic volunteers and others have received leftover shots at the end of a vaccine event. However, in general, people who are not eligible have been asked to wait their turn. “Yes, it’s an imperfect system ... But I think as a human being, we have to respect the fact that sometimes we can’t be the rst in line,” Escott said March 19. Travis County has more than 350 registered vaccine providers, including pharmacies such as CVS and H E B, hospitals and other medical facilities.
AUSTIN More Austinites are now able to receive COVID-19 vaccines after Texans aged 50-64 became eligible under Phase 1C of the state’s rollout plan, but high demand and technical issues have created hurdles for those signing up for appointments through Austin Public Health. When additional residents became eligible March 15, the county health provider said it already had more than 200,000 people waiting for appointments. Austin Public Health is now releasing vaccine appointments each Monday evening in an e ort to simplify the sign-up process, but on March 15 it ran into what it called “massive delays” in a tweet sent at 11:41 p.m. that night. “After working with our vendor for multiple hours, it appears there is no immediate x we can make. Unfortunately, this means we must end scheduling,” read the tweet. Some 2,300 people were able to receive appointments March 15 before scheduling stopped short. After working through the issues, which came from a new program code, APH released more appointments March 18.

Local maskmandates remain in place despite statewide repeal
AUSTIN Texans are no longer required to wear masks under state law as of March 10, but Austin and Travis County have opted to continue the enforcement of local mask mandates, a decision they are defending in court against a lawsuit led by Attorney General Ken Paxton.
