downtown Austin's real estate and neighborhood blog
Nine months after the plan was announced, this week they begin the parking improvements to 6th Street that will result in angles “back in” style parking. This is a shift from parallel parking found on most of W 6th. This has been espoused as a safer method of parking when trying to facilitate a major east-west artery, bike lane, and retail parking.
Thanks to Mike McGill for the heads up!

(Got the wrong week? Click here)
It’s an Austin City Lofts open house festival this weekend. When you’re done with the open houses, you can enjoy an afternoon on Lady Bird Lake by renting a canoe or kayak from at the Texas Rowing Center. Or, dine al fresco at Annie’s Cafe on Congress Ave for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Make sure to download my transaction report from June (registered members only) and discuss with a Realtor who lives and works in downtown Austin.
