Representatives from SXSW, Austin Police Department, Austin Transportation Department, Capital Metro and UT Athletics joined us at last week’s Downtown Safety Measures event to help downtown stakeholders prepare for the busy Spring Festival Season.
We heard details on upcoming events, learned about safety plans and took a closer look at Spring Festival Season street closures, including 6th St. area closures, Red River area closures, Rainey (South) area closures, Rainey (North) area closures, Convention Center area closures
