@juliogatx What a sad and embarrassing day for this city.

[Ed Scruggs @Ed4Austin8]

Thanks #APD for helping set the record straight on what’s a e-bike, and what most certainly isn’t. 😁

[Austin Police Department @Austin_Police]

Navigating e-bike laws doesn’t have to be a bumpy ride if you stick to the three essentials: operational pedals, a sub-750W motor, and a 28 mph speed cap. Keep your ride legal on city streets and save the high-speed, pedal-free thrills for private property!

Last week we were at Bowie High School for the MoPac South Project Public Hearing.

This project is accepting public comments until May 3, so if you live in Southwest Austin this is your time to provide input!

Here are some of the asks I included in my letter: ⬇️

Great news for dog owners and park lovers in Southwest Austin 🐕

Today Council approved my resolution to allocate up to $100,000 from our District 8 office budget to fund a permanent, fenced off-leash area at Circle C Metropolitan Park. (1/2)

Last week the @AustinHSEM hosted Emergency Preparedness at the Hampton Branch Library.

Thank you to the staff from Austin Emergency Management, City departments, and public safety partners for sharing resources and tips with our community. (1/3)

@UofOklahoma #OU - This whole affair is a horrid nightmare. Some may not realize or care what this does to your academic reputation, but this is only going to encourage the best and brightest to look elsewhere for education and career. Gross.

[Ed Scruggs @Ed4Austin8]

@JackCraver Don’t we also need more limits and transparency when it comes to campaign donations and limitations on PAC donations? Perhaps by constitutional amendment? Elon and his crew are happy to spend unlimited $$$ on electing a new stooge every few years.

@tplohetski I believe it was the county judge who stated there is no early warning system for flash flooding in that section of the river. How can that be?

[Ed Scruggs @Ed4Austin8]

@EvilMopacATX I disagree. Give me some snow (without the ice and power outages) over 48 days of 100F+

🌳🔥 The devastating wildfires in California are scary reminders that wildfires can spread extremely quickly.

Wildfires can happen anytime, anywhere.

Look at this thread for preparedness tips. 👇🏼

@jgebbia You left out the part about women losing reproductive choice…That wasn’t on your list of priorities…How do you feel about that?! While we are at it, do you deny climate change is real, and exacerbated by humans?! Pretty important - don’t you think?

Excited to accept the Bike Texas Champion Award at this year’s Texas Trails and Active Transportation Conference!

@_jordan0001 @davidhogg111 Saw him the other night and wow - was he ever giving it to JD Vance! He has that midwestern, no nonsense style and would great in a debate.

[Ed Scruggs @Ed4Austin8]

@Jude_62 @TimRunsHisMouth Tell me, how many vaccinated people have died of COVID??

[Ed Scruggs @Ed4Austin8]

@yashar “My husband was a devout Republican and he would not have wanted me to talk to him (Biden)”. Isn’t that part of the problem?

[Ed Scruggs @Ed4Austin8]

@PaigeForAustin @zilkereagle @austinparksfdn It’s a very cool and smooth ride. Quiet (the engine is powered by propane) and each car has its own set of shocks! About 85% of the route is in the shade. 🌳🚂

[Paige Ellis, City Council Woman - District 8 @PaigeForAustin]

It’s here! The @ZilkerEagle has returned🚂 Thank you @austinparksfdn for the sneak peek today, and I can’t wait for everyone to enjoy it. The train opens to the public Wednesday at 10am!

💧@AustinWater repairs are complete!

We appreciate your patience & mindful conservation of water.

And thank you to our pipefitting crew who have been out there for 2 days in this heat. 🙏🏻

[Austin Water @AustinWater]

Repairs to the SW Austin Water Main continue into this morning. Area residents are still urged to conserve water. Bottle water is available again today. SW ATX community is doing great at conserving water! 🩵 More info: https://t.co/kWBsMzkhyu
