Lady Bird Lake

You might not like the looks of it, but much of the vegetation spreading on Lady Bird Lake is healthy and natural.

The city plans to improve sidewalks and lighting to help guide people home and keep them away from the trailhead.

The Butler Trail off Lady Bird Lake will host 150 goats for the next three to four weeks. They'll be eating up poison ivy and other invasive plant species.

The issue for swimmers is not water quality; ultimately, it just isn’t safe.

Lab test results of blue-green algae discovered in Lady Bird Lake and Lake Austin are pending. In the meantime, assume the worst.

Last year, Austin City Council members created the South Central Waterfront TIRZ. By doing so, they agreed to collect and spend roughly $354 million in property taxes over nearly two decades on various projects in the area spanning the Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights and East Riverside neighborhoods.

Council members directed the interim city manager to look into increased camera surveillance and park ranger patrols after two recent drownings in Lady Bird Lake.

The drownings remain under investigation, but the Austin Police Department has stated there is no indication of foul play.

TxDOT plans to take 1.2 acres of the park on the north shores of Lady Bird Lake for construction and maintenance, requiring a detour of the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail for at least six years.

Decades ago, the public event space was full of life. Now it's rundown, like an old relic.
