4/11/11 Note from Charlie McCabe (Austin Parks Foundation ED)

Author: Mark Holzbach
Forum: Parks and Greenspace
Posted on April 11th, 2011

The following is excerpted from an email Charlie sent out today (4/11/11) to the Republic Square partners email list:

...There's LOTS of things going on in our downtown parks - especially - Republic Square. Here's a few highlights:

1) The Farmer's Market continues on Saturday mornings and they continue to be a big event. We have brought out the Imagination Playground on two Saturdays now and pending scheduling, we hope to bring it out on a regular basis. It's a huge hit with parents and kids alike. We'll also have a smaller portion of it out for our upcoming Movie nights.

2) Yoga in the Park continues this Wednesday and indeed Wednesdays at noon through April. We had 96 people attend our first class last week. that's about double the number from previous years. Join YogaYoga at noon with your yoga mat (they also have a small number to lend)

3) Movies at Republic Square kick off this week with SpyKids - Wed, April 13th! We'll have our imagination playground out as well. Movies begin at dusk and are free. Our thanks to our sponsors including Amplify Credit Union, the Downtown Austin Alliance, the City of Austin Parks & Recreation Dept, the City of Austin Cultural Arts Division and the Alamo Drafthouse. Next up on April 27th is Casablanca!

Here's a few other items of note:

4) PARD staff aerated the south and west lawns a week or so back to get a little more air and less compaction going. This should help the grass. Think more rain - next chance is Thursday!

5) Two trees on the east side - one transplant and one tree we planted during Phase 1a of improvements (along Guadalupe) have died and are in the process of being removed.

6) Daniel continues to lead weeding days at Republic Square. The next workday will be Saturday, May 14th.

And finally, it's great to see the Courthouse continue to take shape. as our new neighbor to the west of the Square. The stone work is looking pretty neat.

3/23/11 Letter From Mayor Lee Leffingwell about 3/26/11 "Earth Hour"

Author: Mark Holzbach
Forum: Quality of Life / Social Order
Posted on March 24th, 2011

To: All Neighborhood Association Members
From: Mayor Lee Leffingwell
Re: Earth Hour this Saturday

Dear Neighbor:

Please join me and the City of Austin â�� - and conservation-minded folks around the world -- in turning off your lights for Earth Hour, as a powerful visible reminder of the need for energy conservation.

Earth Hour is one hour -- 8:30 to 9:30 PM - this Saturday, March 26.

Please forward this request to your neighbors, including neighborhood businesses, and encourage them to join you in Earth Hour. We hope to see whole neighborhoods go dark. Join City Hall and many other City facilities and private buildings -- including the Frost Bank Tower and the UT Tower - that have pledged to turn off their lights for Earth Hour.

Please also consider spending Earth Hour talking with your children, family, friends and neighbors about small changes you can make in your daily life, to consume less energy.

Earth Hour is a global event that symbolizes the need for people to pull together to address climate change. The City of Austin is joining green leaders around the globe in this reminder of the need for environmental stewardship, conservation and climate action. Last year, our city joined with 4,615 other municipalities around the globe, in 128 countries and territories.

Global climate disruption can seem like an overwhelming problem; participating in Earth Hour is one great example of the small, positive individual actions we each can take.

For more information, please visit http://www.earthhour.org, http://www.facebook.com/earthhour, or twitter.com/earthhour. Learn what others around the world are doing to protect our planet and how you can join them.

Together, we're a greener city.

Sincerely,

Mayor Lee Leffingwell

Taller buildings could be coming to W. Seventh in Austin
by Jacod Dirr, ABJ Staff
Date: Friday, February 11, 2011, 5:00am CST - Last Modified: Thursday, February 10, 2011, 2:39pm CST

Something may be up - or rather going up ... possibly way up - on West Seventh Street and West Avenue.
Property owners on the 700 block of West Seventh Street are seeking Central Business District zoning, a designation that would remove restrictions on building height. Properties at 701 and 711 W. Seventh St., one of which now houses a yoga studio, filed the application Feb. 2, according to city records.
The land is subject to a building height limit of 60 feet. Lowa Ltd. owns the half-acre property at 701 W. Seventh St., and 711 West 7th Street Partnership owns the other, according to county records.
Applicant representative Ron Thrower, of Thrower Design, could not be reached for details.
