Very proud of the team that put this together. Video is a great way to tell the story of what will be bulldozed for TxDOT's I-35 expansion to 20 lanes through central Austin.

@kelseyhuse30 Agreed! I try to always call them frontage roads because they don't really provide quality access to anything.

The Week Without Driving starts this Monday. People from across the country are participating and so is Austin. Sign up to participate and help raise awareness about the need for transportation choice in Austin and beyond: centraltexascnu.org/week-without-d…

@daustinsanders The historic Elgin-Butler Brick building 💔

Demo of the old Chron office to make room for more I-35 is currently underway.

@MiriamSchoenf Happy upcoming birthday. Best wishes for a joyful year ❤️

I am so excited to turn 40 this weekend! 🥳 My wish-words for the next decade of my life are 'joyful service.' If you find me being a joy-less downer, or acting in ways that our not of service to our collective whole, please do remind of this tweet. Love y'all so much.💜

@ReconnectAustin Missing a great leader and a dear friend. He talked often over the last several months about celebrating the wins and continuing to make positive change. Let's work together to honor his amazing legacy ❤️

Chris Riley was a very important part of Reconnect Austin, and a fixture of Austin urbanism. He will be deeply missed, though his impact on each of us and our work will remain. Thank you, Chris. 🤍

@megankimble @bookpassage The perfect location to talk about the power of highway removal!

San Francisco! I'll see you on July 25! Come see me at @bookpassage's Ferry Building at 5:30 p.m., right on the Embarcadero. We'll talk about the past and future of freeway removal & freeway fights happening across the country.

The annual Congress for the New Urbanism Central Texas Chapter luncheon is just 5 days away! Please join us next Wednesday 4/17. We have a dynamic keynote speaker, Veronica O. Davis. Copies of her book, Inclusive Transportation, come with your ticket: members.cnu.org/cnu_ctx_annual…

In case you thought this was a historical problem, here are cities where new or expanded urban freeways are planned or underway: Denver, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Shreveport, Orlando, Milwaukee, Duluth, Salt Lake City, NYC, Portland OR, Portland ME, Covington/Cincinnati, Phoenix.

Just one more week until our 2024 Annual Luncheon on Wednesday, April 17! We are so excited to hear from keynote speaker @VeronicaODavis all about her book Inclusive Transportation and how Austin can improve its own transportation landscape. Don’t miss this opportunity!

Seventy years ago, highways were sold as progress, essential to our future prosperity. Today, we're uncovering a different story. Join this conversation with journalist and author, Megan Kimble to discuss her new book.

Construction of I-35 through Austin, TX destroyed Black neighborhoods and divided the city. Watch the full video here: youtu.be/e5T-jnVR6Fw This video is inspired by the amazing work of @SegByDesign and @SmartGrowthUSA Video by Reconnect Austin

@WalkableAustin @TxDOT Great idea! Capital Plaza seems ripe for redevelopment. Would be great to have @TxDOTAustin thinking about the future of retail there and working to improve access from surrounding neighborhoods.

heard @TxDOT plans to purchase these commercial sites along Cameron for water detention purposes. would be great if they explored lining Cameron with retail spaces, linking Mueller to areas further north. walking/biking also important
