Mayor, I wanted to pull item number 33 off the consent agenda.
podcast-host
That was going to be the
podcast-host
Thank you, Mayor.
podcast-host
And I would also like to be added as a co-sponsor on 37.
podcast-host
I really appreciate the work that you and the other colleagues have done on that.

The mother and daughter were from District 8, and so it's something that we have definitely felt an impact for in Southwest Austin to make sure that folks are not ending up deported simply for calling 911 to make sure that their home and their family is safe.
podcast-host
I would also like to speak briefly to item number 64, which is the one you just heard the speakers come and testify about that is in regard to the highway expansion through Southwest Austin.
podcast-host
This Mopac South expansion covers eight miles and is essentially the entire spine of District 8.
podcast-host
The impacts that this highway expansion are going to have are going to affect almost every neighborhood, every school that's close to Mopac, endangered species, and a number of different stakeholder and interest groups along the way.

We have found through our conversations a couple of the groups that operate within the footprint of Zilker Park were not consulted and didn't know what to say about the public comment period and what the impacts to their businesses and their events were going to be.
podcast-host
So I want to thank CTRMA for stepping up once we recognize that and offering to have those consultations to make sure that as many constituents have the information that they need as humanly possible.
podcast-host
This resolution builds on the one that we sent to CTRMA about a year and a half ago at this point that the City Council had also submitted.
podcast-host
supported for us to put in as a recommendation.
podcast-host
But it not only focuses on expansion for car lanes, but it also calls for better bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, park and ride conversations about appropriate locations for park and rides that are part of the Project Connect system that voters approved in 2020, and a number of other environmentally friendly initiatives like safe street crossings to make sure that we don't end up with this further divide through Southwest Austin.
podcast-host
The city departments do have until May 3rd to contribute their comments into the public comment period, so I know that those were not ready to go at the same time this resolution is ready to be considered by the city council, but we know that the departments are working very closely to be able to submit those comments.
podcast-host
There are a number of
podcast-host
different structures that contribute to the historic nature of zilker park that were left off the list clarksville as a historic neighborhood is not one that is being factored into some of this footprint and i've noticed some language around impacts to endangered species not being considered regionally significant which i find to be interesting because the endangered species that our speakers listed previously they don't have another home to go to
podcast-host
If their cave is impacted, that species may cease to exist entirely.
podcast-host
And they are on the federal list of endangered species.
