Finished an 8-mile evening ruck around Lady Bird Lake. Got distracted by a little raccoon playing in a tree just as @lexfridman jogged by—both looked focused on their tasks. The new Wishbone Bridge looks incredible, and it’s hard to believe this February weather.
The Wishbone Bridge is officially open! This morning, folks from all over Austin came together to celebrate the opening the way Austinites do it best—with food, fun, a little running, lots of bikes, and some good music.
The Wishbone Bridge and Unity Underpass wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of our city departments. I’m so proud that the City delivered this project ahead of schedule (four months to be exact) and on budget. We’re working hard in Austin to make sure we’re delivering big projects like this on time and on budget, to enhance the experience of everyone who lives, works, and plays here. The community support has been great
This project also wouldn’t have been possible without funding from the 2020 Mobility Bond and a $4 million federal appropriation secured by Congressman Greg Casar.
The opening of this bridge and underpass is a huge milestone for our community. I’m so happy to be a part of another Austin success and getting things done.
The Wishbone Bridge is opening:
✅ 4 months early
✅ On-Budget
As CM @PaigeForAustin pointed out, this project was only possible thanks to the 2020 Mobility Bond. With @austinmobility delivering record-time improvements, let’s keep the momentum with a 2026 bond!
President Trump refused to apologize after sharing a racist video that depicted the Obamas as apes on Truth Social and then later taking it down. The president told reporters on Friday that he looked at the beginning of the video, but didn't see the part with the former president and first lady.
Airplane! (1980) is one of those comedies where the joke density is so insane you’re always missing something. Straight-faced acting, nonsense treated like gospel, and background gags doing half the work. Rewatchable forever.
Thought this was an interesting look at two completely opposite seasons in Pittsburgh from nearly the same vantage point. This cold weather lately has been crazy! #pittsburgh
Perfect day to hit the slopes.
