Consultation has concluded
The Austin Brownfields Revitalization Office wants to hear from you! We are looking for properties where chemicals or hazardous materials may have been made, used, or stored in the past. We are looking at project sites east of Interstate 35, and have identified neighborhoods near Riverside Drive and East Airport Boulevard as priorities.
Why? Our program works with community partners to make properties like these safe and healthy for public use. We will submit an application for necessary federal dollars in November. The grant, if received, will allow us to complete work on several sites by 2023. They may become open green spaces, affordable housing or serve another need identified by the community.

Young people can play in these zorbs, and they will not be hurt by rolling in these inflatable zorb balls.

Nowadays, such an idea is being used in a large portion of the donning occasions in such entertainment places, allowing great fun and safety.
According to experts, zorb ball is good to people’s heart and lung function. When the sphere is rotating, people need to continue to overcome the force of gravity, causing the body is of weightlessness at any time. This short period of time when people resist the force of gravity on health is very beneficial to the heart and respiratory systems.
A sports game of zorb balls can be a good method to kill time. Many people enjoy the fun that zorb balls bring to them, some people may compare it to pinball. Zorb ball does not present much of a physical challenge, but it can bring a bit of a mental challenge.
When people go into the zorb ball and roll from the hills, them roll down the river, the centrifugal force will make the ball close to the wall, so people will not roll in the ball. Zorb ball 50 cm thick wall of air, when the ball rolls on a rugged place when it collides with an object, it will have a dampening effect, in which people are safe and will not hurt. When people feel their heart beating faster, it means that this sport is very exciting.
A lot of gaming items are made of zorbing ball materials for security. Numerous sorts of gear are in this way being outlined with these plastics, the greater part of them being utilized as a part of water games.

This may not be the right forum for my discussion. If it is not please direct me to the proper place.
Have you people lost your minds? East Riverside used to be crowded, but it flowed smoothly. Now the outside lanes in both directions have been converted to bus/right turn only. You have effectively removed 1/3 of traffic capacity. Now there is more congestion at traffic lights, sometimes requiring more than one cycle to get through. Why? And before you give me the "safety" lecture I can tell you that I drive on East Riverside frequently and I have NEVER seen an accident.
I can give other examples, but for the sake of brevity I will stick with this one. It's almost like you are trying to make traffic more unbearable in Austin.

I recommend that one focus be on properties that would allow new ped & bike paths or full roads to connect the street grid. The East Riverside and East Airport areas have many large city blocks, sometimes as large as several miles in circumference. This makes it difficult for those who walk, bike, or roll, or need to access transit to be able to do so in a reasonable amount of time. It also increases the distance that people must drive in order to get to their destinations (thus increase their time spent driving and total distance traveled) and increases the traffic volume on existing streets (which in turn puts pressure to have wider streets, which are more dangerous and result in more fatalities and severe injuries).
