MISSING: APD is asking for the public's help in finding Mayre Jantz. She takes daily medication which raises concern for her welfare. https://t.co/YfoO0Y4Qdy

[Council Member Chito Vela @CMChitoVela]

NEXT WEDNESDAY: Join myself, my staff, and the @austintexasgov Budget Office for a virtual town hall!

Though we'll be focusing on the needs of D4 in this meeting, everyone is welcome to attend.

Visit https://t.co/wxZ6gjhjcd to RSVP & email my office with accessibility requests.

[Mayor Pro Tem Chito Vela, III @chitoforatx]

We need to get shade over all the playgrounds, courts and similar areas in our parks. The heat is making them virtually unusable for half the year.

[Rethink35 - Stop I-35 expansion & demand better! @rethink35]

The Statesman covers our lawsuit against TxDOT:

“TxDOT is claiming that these three sections [of I-35] are ‘independent utilities’... We are crying foul on that claim. This is obviously one massive highway widening project." 🧐

[Mayor Pro Tem Chito Vela, III @chitoforatx]

This is something we have been discussing. Would be a great way for the city to recruit and retain employees.

[District 4 @D4ATX]

Officer-involved shooting occurred just east of Airport Blvd.

[KVUE News @KVUE]

DETAILS: APD officers shoot, kill knife-wielding man after incident off East Koenig Lane https://t.co/BkHH2aGyaz

[ATCEMS @ATCEMS]

#ATCEMS is on this scene with @AustinFireInfo. #ATCEMSMedics reporting 4 patients thus far- 2 adults & 1 child have been transported to Dell Seton Medical Center & Dell Children's Medical Center respectively, all w/ critical, life threatening injuries. More information to follow.

[Council Member Chito Vela @CMChitoVela]

Today, I stood with @VanessaForATX to co-sponsor her reproductive anti-discrimination resolution.

Nobody should face housing or employment difficulties based on their deeply private medical decisions, including #abortion.

[North Lamar / Georgian Acres neighborhood team @austin78753]

@AustinTransit @ATP_org Curious that the map shows Gold line terminating _in_ the transit center, not at the Orange line rail platform which will be in the center of N Lamar Blvd.

[Austin Coalition for Transit @AustinTransit]

Proposal also redundant to Blue Line terminus at NLTC as it interlines with Orange in voter-approved #ProjectConnect map. Changes would direct Gold Line high capacity transit toward West Austin and away from potential northeast Austin extensions, termini & those communities. 4/4

[Bryce Newberry @Bryce_Newberry]

Remember last May when @TxDOTAustin imploded this flyover from NB I-35 to NB US 183, closing it for months, to extend it?

The flyover is going to close again for up to a week in June as crews make adjustments to "smooth the ride" on the flyover, a spokesperson tells @KVUE.
