Reimagining I-35 as public space. Reconnecting the city. People-focused urban design and transportation. RTs ≠ endorsements.

Tomorrow is the day to support Austin City Council in deciding to fund capping over the rebuild of I-35. You can sign up to speak, or in favor but not to speak, at the kiosks in city hall before 9:15 am.
I'm proud to stand with our entire Central Texas state delegation in urging Austin to pass Cap and Stitch. Reconnecting communities is how we right historic wrongs, cast a vote aligned with our values, and build a city worthy of our future. Let’s lead.
