“One man stood alone for decades building the body of work that makes this movement possible. If any of us feel alone in this work, think of Professor Donald Shoup. “His work will reshape cities for decades to come.” @adamgreenfield.bsky.social for the Austin Parking Reform Coalition #yimbytown

Austin, are you listening?? Converting ALL one-way streets to two-way will be a game-changer for downtown Austin. Let's do it!

The Austin Parking Reform Coalition is the winner of the first ever Donald Shoup Organization Award! We led on Austin eliminating parking mandates in 2023. Now we're back pushing for more reform (update soon.) So proud to be part of this amazing group! Thanks to @parkingreform.org for this honor.

Every multi-lane city street is a policy failure.

This is an eye-popping report. Shifting funding away from highways will have massive benefits.

This past Saturday marked 61 years since the birth of Chris Riley. Chris played a pivotal role in Austin for so long, both on City Council and as an urbanist elder statesman inspiring the next generation. I think of Chris often and miss him deeply. He'll be long remembered. Happy Birthday Chris!

I'll be at the public meeting today for the Texas Statewide Active Transportation Plan. I hope to see you there. This is a big deal for TxDOT and they need y'all's support. Come and thank staff for this great work!

If you haven't taken the Texas Statewide Active Transportation Plan survey, now's the time! Survey link: www.surveymonkey.com/r/MZFVPDB (For Q4, we suggestion ranking "Improve the flexibility of funding sources" highest, followed by "Identify and make investments in critical corridors").

Optics matter. TxDOT staff need to see a lot of people tomorrow supporting better walking and bicycling across Texas. This is a big step forward for the agency. Hope to see YOU there! 🫵

The draft Texas Statewide Active Transportation Plan is a MASSIVE deal for Texas. Taking the survey to support the plan is the best thing you'll do in the next 5 minutes. ⭐️ Do it! www.surveymonkey.com/r/MZFVPDB ⭐️

Please consider following and supporting Safe Streets Austin: bsky.app/profile/safe... I'm proud of our work at Safe Streets Austin. Whether it's fighting for tough bike lane projects, pushing for two-way street conversions downtown, or expanding our Living Streets program, we're always going!

I can't stress how significant it is that TxDOT is drafting its first ever statewide active transportation plan. *Please* take the survey and attend the in-person meeting next week. Staff needs a huge show of support. 👉 Take that survey now! www.surveymonkey.com/r/MZFVPDB 👈

Berlin could be creating a car-free zone larger than Manhattan. This is the kind of big thinking that every city should have going on. Austin is considering a bond in 2026 - it should be chock full of BIG ideas. No same old same old. Different new different new. cleantechnica.com/2025/06/27/b...

The 2026 bond will be a massive deal for walking, bicycling, and safer streets. Please take both bond surveys before Monday and share your views.

In almost any given photo of a beautiful town, there you'll see single-stair buildings making that beauty possible. This is from Wales. #SingleStairEverywhere

Washington State has just legalized shared streets / woonerven statewide. This is a stunning development with far reaching implications. I hope this will inspire other jurisdictions to codify shared streets. Austin's Living Streets program would benefit greatly from more defined standards.

This survey is really important, please take it by June 9th. CAMPO needs *a lot* of encouragement to move beyond highway expansions and seriously fund walking, bicycling, and transit. They need to hear from 🫵 www.surveymonkey.com/r/2YD5W2R

Mobility safety improvements could be coming to Montopolis Drive but only with YOUR support! 🚶🏼‍♀️ 🚲 🚍 Take the City's survey by June 8th and say what you want to see: publicinput.com/i81714#tab-6...

Please sign this petition to urge the Texas Governor to veto HB3, a bill that would outlaw all products containing legal hemp in Texas. Terrible bill! 😡 texashempbusinesscouncil.com/petition/

Wow. These could really clean up our bike lanes. City of Austin, are you watching??

Look at those single-stair buildings 😀

Can't wait to hear this!

Every city should be so lucky for its Council Members to put out such fantastic statements like this one, supporting single-stair reform! Thank you, CM Ellis for leading on single-stair reform, along with CM Vela. This is another wonderful step forward for Austin!

So proud of Austin for legalizing single-stair apartments up to 5-stories! Small, gently dense development is how cities grew for millennia. Austin has now unlocked that force and it's going to change this city for the better - for generations. What a day! Austin continues blazing its trail!

Please send a short message to CAMPO by May 12th and tell them you want better walking, bicycling, and transit - NOT more highway expansions. 😠

Austin's city council will vote this week on whether to become Texas first city to adopt single-stair. Its great to see city council and architects working together on missing-middle housing solutions. www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/...

Parking Reform could be coming to statewide to Texas! If passed, HB 3275 will remove commercial parking requirements statewide! It will be heard TOMORROW 4/3 at the TX House Land & Resource Committee. This could be huge. Please share your support here TODAY: comments.house.texas.gov/home?c=c360

Have you written your message to Austin City Council in support of single-stair apartments citywide? Do it today!

Look at this, Austin. Legislators are pushing for EIGHT story single-stair buildings! We've got to go for *at least* six floors for single-stair buildings.

I'm so excited that single-stair apartments could be coming to Austin. This gentle density will be a great fit for our neighborhoods. Please take a moment to message Austin City Council and share your support for single-stair buildings.

Help us create Austin's largest ever Potluck Banquet in the street! Everyone is invited to the March 29th Willow Street Block party. Potluck banquet is 4-6pm. ⭐️ RSVP here: partiful.com/e/NeuZnArl3d...

The hype is building here in Austin over #SingleStairReform! Austin City Council should allow these wonderful family-sized buildings up to six floors citywide. Check out what folks across the US are saying about single-stair reform: www.singlestairatx.org/support

This horrific incident was predictable and preventable. TxDOT has been told many times that I-35 is unsafe, as are all fast, wide highways through dense areas. Roughly a quarter of travel fatalities in Austin are on I-35. TxDOT must act now to redesign its facilities to prevent more lives lost.

YOU are invited to the fourth annual Willow Street Block Party & Potluck Banquet on Saturday March 29th! 🎉 Come enjoy community, food, and more in the street. This always a highlight of the year. RSVP & info: partiful.com/e/NeuZnArl3d...

I'm excited to be part of the advocacy for #SingleStairReform ramping up here in Austin, along with @chris-gannon.bsky.social, @parkerwelch.bsky.social, @cityjane.bsky.social, and other amazing advocates! Check out our Single Stair ATX website to find out more: www.singlestairatx.org
