Solomun Weldekeal-Araya, 37, faces several felony charges, including five counts of manslaughter.

The all-or-nothing vote on the Cherrywood noise barrier, the largest for the I-35 expansion in Central Austin, has some residents feeling boxed in.

City leaders anticipated Austin would have $105 million in federal funding for the project rescinded after the Trump administration began reviewing a grant program established under President Biden.

The 10-mile-long trail, used by an estimated 5 million people per year, will continue to run beneath the interstate during construction. But how much space trail users will have and where they will be rerouted during that time hasn't been decided.

The City Council voted to pay more than $100 million for columns to support parks over the interstate from Cesar Chavez to Seventh Street and 11th to 12th streets. The council also approved two 300-foot-long caps near the Red Line crossing at Airport Boulevard.

Austin City Council faces a deadline on whether to spend hundreds of millions covering the highway with acres of public space at the expense of other priorities facing the city. KUT News did a deep dive on the project and interviewed council members during a livestream Monday.

Austin City Council members are divided over whether to fund highway parks as financial warnings mount, but they must make a decision before the end of the month.

The City Council faces a May 31 deadline to decide whether to spend an initial $284 million on support structures for caps over the soon-to-be-lowered highway.

A toxicology report ordered by police found Solomun Weldekeal-Araya had no drugs or alcohol in his system.
