Unscrambling Complex Issues One Community Conversation at a Time

The Downtown Austin Alliance’s Issues & Eggs series is back and better than ever. We’re bringing experts to the breakfast table to provide perspective on the challenges and unique opportunities downtown faces.

Once per quarter, we bring together guests to give the public an opportunity to learn about the critical turning points we face as a city. Join us on March 31, 2026 from 7:30 AM – 9 AM at Waterloo Greenway for Issues & Eggs: Waterloo Greenway – Austin’s Urban Connector.

About Issues & Eggs: Waterloo Greenway – Austin’s Urban Connector

Join us as we explore how this transformative public space is connecting Austin’s emerging districts—from the Medical District and Convention Center to Rainey Street and the Red River Cultural District. As downtown’s eastern side develops, Waterloo is becoming the central spine that ties together health, culture, tourism, and livability in downtown.

Hear from urban designers, planners, and community leaders as they share how this public investment is influencing design, density, and purpose across these neighborhoods. From walkability and wellness to cultural identity and economic development, this conversation will highlight how public green space can shape the future of Austin—district by district.

RSVP for FREE for the March 31 event!
