Just a reminder to folks 65+ who have Austin utilities. You no longer have to pay for the Transportation Service Fee. You have to opt out of it. Look under the Street Service section of your monthly bill for more info. A savings of about $250 a year! #ATX #ATXseniors #savings #cityofaustin

The #CityOfAustin not only wasted a cool $200,000 for a logo so ironically milquetoast for a city of artists, but put the news on a site that _could_ become usable and accessible for citizens at a fraction of the cost. It's insulting to the people who live here. Do better, #Austin. Do WAY better.

Disappointed to find #capmetro not free for #sxsw. #cityofaustin should be doing everything possible to cut down on traffic. On a positive note the weather's perfect and the other passenger is giving a truly unique a capella vocal performance 😂

Wondering what’s going on with #ZilkerPark after the #CityofAustin suspended the controversial #ZilkerParkVisionPlan in 2023? #Zilker351 visited @kvue.bsky.social #midday to discuss upcoming community meetings.
