MAP NOT TO SCALE N
Capital Metro delves into details of rail line and station locations When the city of Austin sent
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to North Austin and Orange Line running between North Austin and South Austin in 2024 and last approximately five years. According to a May 19 presentation from Peter Mullan, ATP chief of architecture and urban design, the station locations and the path of the rail are still subject to change, but the map provides a starting point. Just east of South Congress Avenue, the Blue Line would cross Lady Bird Lake on a new bridge. “This, I think is a really exciting opportunity to create some meaningful architecture, but also because we are imagining this bridge will not just carry the light- rail system but also have facilities for pedestrians and bicycles,”
Mullan said. On the other side of the river, the bridge would connect to downtown Austin and the proposed tunnel system, which means the Waller Creek Boathouse cafe and event space cannot stay in its current location. “The upper portion of the boathouse can’t be there anymore; it’s not possible to retain the upper portion,” Project Connect Program Manager Dave Couch said. “We would very much like and intend to keep the lower portion.” On June 16, ATP staff presented information on the north and south portions of the Orange Line, and in July they will assess options for the downtown areas where the Orange and Blue lines intersect.
FUTURE PROJECT
a plan to voters in November to invest billions into a revamped transportation system that would include two new rail lines, it included maps outlining the proposed routes and an idea of where stations would be located. Now, Capital Metro and the Austin Transit Partnership, the local government corporation tasked with overseeing the $7.1 billion investment, are getting more specific, talking to the community and seeking feedback on questions such as which exact intersections will serve as station locations and whether riders will access the train cars from a center

EDUCATION BRIEFS
News from Austin & Dripping Springs ISDs
EDUCATION HIGHLIGHTS TEXAS A bill that would have allowed school districts to provide virtual learning in the fall failed to reach Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk. Austin ISD will return to all learning on-campus. AISD officials said they had been weighing options after the failure of House Bill 1468, but with COVID-19 rates dropping, the district decided conditions will be safe for all students to return in person. AUSTIN ISD Staff, teachers and volunteers went door to door in the Dove Springs area June 26 to inform families about the district’s programs and bring them back to Austin ISD schools. Another block walk is scheduled for July 24 around Eastside Early College High School. Data shows more than 87% of the more than 16,000 students who transferred out of AISD left to attend a charter school in 2019-20. AUSTINANDDRIPPING SPRINGS Families, teachers and students celebrated the high school class of 2021 in graduation ceremonies in late May and early June. Austin ISD’s graduation ceremonies for its 14 high schools took place from May 28-June 3. Safety protocols included masking, temperature checks and distancing. Dripping Springs High School celebrated its graduates May 28 at Tiger Stadium, where masks were optional.

Dawn Buckingham, R-Lakeway, offered an amendment to the bill addressing school finance to state school districts shall accept donations from PTAs to fund staff positions. That new law goes into effect Sept. 1. Elizalde has argued that means AISD is not subject to the new law this year because the district’s budgeting and staffing process would finish before that date. According to a letter from Sen. Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood, Elizalde passed that information onto PTAs in a June 1 meeting. In the letter, Taylor,

AUSTIN ISD During the 2020- 21 school year, parent-teacher associations funded 31 full- and part- time positions at elementary schools in the district that included library clerks, tutors and a Spanish teacher. That practice will end, district officials announced, in a decision Austin ISD said will put all its schools on equal footing. “We are a public institution. We exist to serve the public. The minute we become enablers of inequities, we cease to be a public institution and become private,” Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde said in a message posted to AISD’s website May 21. However, the Texas Legislature

Sixth Street shooting renews discussions about how to keep downtown bar scene safe
“ONE MINUTE AND 30 SECONDS WHEN YOU’RE IN A CRITICAL SITUATION CAN SEEM LIKE AN
BY BEN THOMPSON
7 minutes and 30 seconds average in recent years to 9 minutes in 2021 so far. “That’s a signi cant increase and one of the drivers of why we are making these reallocations back to patrol,” Chacon said. “One minute and 30 seconds when you’re in a critical situation can seem like an eternity.” Austin EMS Association President Selena Xie said the shooting highlighted a shortcoming of the city’s overall strategy for keeping its downtown entertainment districts safe for visitors. Xie said adding EMS sta and improved staging and access for rst responders should be city priorities in the future. “[Austin] is showing that we are becoming a large city with a very, very popular downtown nightlife, and that we do need to take the downtown response seriously and not let it impact the city the way that we’re comfortable doing right now,” Xie said. Police arrested two individuals in connection with the shooting. A 15-year-old juvenile was arrested June 12 and booked for deadly conduct, and 17-year-old Jeremiah Roshawn Leland James Tabb was arrested June 14 and charged with aggravated assault.
ETERNITY.” AUSTIN INTERIM POLICE CHIEF JOSEPH CHACON ON POLICE PRIORITY RESPONSE TIMES, WHICH HAVE SLOWED FROM ABOUT 7 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS PREVIOUSLY TO ABOUT 9 MINUTES IN 2021.
AUSTIN Fifteen people were injured with gunshot wounds on Sixth Street in the early morning hours of June 12, including one man, 25-year-old Douglas John Kantor, who was killed. Police and EMS workers immediately responded to the scene in the crowded Austin bar district, helping carry injured individuals away from the area to receive medical care. Interim Police Chief Joseph Chacon said during a June 15 press conference that downtown remains one of the department’s most well- patrolled areas in Austin. “I do feel like we’re doing a very good job just making sure that we’re keeping our sta ng 24 hours a day in that area,” he said. However, maintaining a well-sta ed downtown force could leave other parts of the city more prone to delayed response times, Chacon said, especially as APD is experiencing retirements, resignations and a yearlong absence of new cadets. He said that issue is a factor in this year’s citywide jump in police response times to priority incidents, which have risen from an estimated
District 10 Council Member Alison Alter, who sponsored a resolution related to gun control in April following a murder in her Northwest Austin district, said preventing violent events such as this mainly is tied to state or federal action. “We have to understand this was two [teenagers] with guns who didn’t have another way to settle their dispute ... and absent that access to that gun this whole thing looks really di erent,” Alter said. “We as a city don’t get to control that, and we need leadership on the state and federal level that will recognize that access to guns does not make us safer.”

NUMBER TOKNOW Investment in preventing homelessness Austin City Council will make in 2021 and 2022. Council approved the spending framework, which will come from federal dollars allocated through the American Rescue Plan Act, in its June 10 meeting. $100M CITY HIGHLIGHTS AUSTIN Homeowners in the city will have further property tax relief after Austin City Council voted June 10 to double the homestead exemption from 10% to 20%. This means city residents who reside in the home they own will receive a 20% reduction on their appraised tax value. Seniors and disabled residents receive a at reduction rather than one based on a percentage. Council increased that exemption from $88,000 to $113,000 DRIPPING SPRINGS City Council started the process June 15 to annex a 97-acre tract of property just east of Rob Shelton Road and north of Hwy. 290 that could clear the way for a development to build 375 single-family homes. Developer Ashton Woods Homes is planning the property, which would also have 24 acres of parkland dedicated to the city. City Attorney Laura Mueller said the annexation agreement and zoning agreement could come to council for approval July 6. TRAVIS COUNTY Representatives from Austin Public Health said they are prepared to o er COVID-19 vaccine booster shots to the Austin-Travis County community this year if the U.S. Food & Drug Administration recommends it.

you give it; [jail] is a dehumanizing place to put people,” said Annette Price, co-executive director of Grassroots Leadership. “By building this jail, you are sending a message that incarceration is better than providing needed resources [for] our community to thrive.” Although Commissioners Margaret Gomez, Je rey Travillion and Brigid Shea all said they were in support of the plan for the new jail June 8, they ultimately voted June 15 to update the master plan and postpone construction of the jail, joining Travis County Judge Andy Brown and Commissioner Ann Howard in the unanimous decision. Gomez said she hoped the conversation would help raise awareness and education of the issue before moving forward. The vote followed calls during the June 15 meeting’s public comment period by more than 100 community members, by sta ’s count. Nearly all of them asked commissioners to vote
TRAVIS COUNTY A plan for a new $80 million women’s jail facility in Del Valle will not move forward for at least a year after Travis County commissioners voted unanimously June 15 to have sta re-evaluate the county’s strategic plan to overhaul its correctional facilities. The jail would consolidate women inmates in Travis County to a single facility; they are currently spread across facilities shared with men where there is inadequate health care and programming infrastructure, according to sheri ’s o ce sta . A scheduled vote to award a design contract for the facility became a lightning rod in June, with groups including the Texas Fair Defense Project and Grassroots Leadership calling for commissioners to prioritize jail diversion e orts over new jail facilities in light of Travis County’s declining jail population. “It doesn’t matter what name

down any plans that would progress the new jail in favor of community-based incarceration-diversion programs. “There’s such broad and deep opposition to the jail because it doesn’t make sense,” said Amanda Woog, executive director of the Texas Fair Defense Project. “It makes no sense to build a brand new $80 million jail with more than double the beds than there are people in jail right now ... it makes sense to research and identify gaps in community resources.”
Homeless individuals in some downtown areas beginmoving to temporary shelters
MOVING TO SHELTER A group of about 20 people experiencing homelessness living in tents on East Cesar Chavez Street were moved to a former hotel in South Austin in mid-June. Encampment site Shelter facility
BY BEN THOMPSON
As that relocation process continues, Austin police are now in their second phase of enforcing the camping ban city residents passed in November. Prior to mid-June, the city’s strategy focused on education and outreach. Police will now hand out written warnings and citations, punishable by up to a $500 ne. Starting July 11, they will be able to make arrests to clear out encampments. Some arrests were made the morning of June 14, but police say they did not have to do with the planned phased-in enforcement. City o cials said protesting campers on the north side of Austin City Hall had been “repeatedly warned” they were trespassing, and other individuals had to be cleared out due to a construction project.
AUSTIN Around 20 people living in an encampment on East Cesar Chavez Street relocated June 17 to a former South Austin hotel for shelter. The move was the rst step of a program Austin City Council approved in February to clear four homeless encampments and connect residents with temporary housing and resources. The facility that accepted the residents at 2711 I-35, Austin, a former Rodeway Inn, will now operate as a designated shelter where homeless individuals will be connected with rapid rehousing case workers. The three other locations where sta will shut down camps and connect residents with shelter have not been speci ed.
