This fun neighborhood tradition continues another year to launch Springtime in Austin’s greatest neighborhood! Bring your lawn chairs and whatever you’re thirsty for – grilled hotdogs, hamburgers and veggie burgers will be provided by the BWNA. Bryker Woods’ own Dovetail Joints will provide terrific live music, and we’ll have a hip new twist this year: Our neighbors to the north on Burnet Road, Roll On Sushi Diner (www.RollOnSushiDiner.com) are so generously providing us with a cool live sushi rolling station doing traditional and Austin fusion sushi – YUM! Helpful hints: walk, bike, scooter or skate to the party, as spots to park are limited. Be sure to leave Fifi and Fido at home as lots of Bryker Babies will be crawling about. Thank you for generously tipping the band – they make the party!

City of Austin is proposing a change to its traffic calming program

The City of Austin is proposing a change to its traffic calming program.  The new program is called Local Area Traffic Management (LATM).  Initially this new program will provide a process for mitigating excessive speeding on neighborhood streets.  Eventually the program will include methodologies for dealing with cut-through traffic and the removal of existing traffic control devices.
The guidelines and procedures for LATM were presented to the Urban Transportation Commission (UTC) on November 8th.  The LATM PowerPoint presentation from that meeting as well as the proposed guidelines and procedures are available on the UTC website.  The guidelines and procedures can be found at:  http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/edims/document.cfm?id=160679 and the PowerPoint is at http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/edims/document.cfm?id=160205.
Please take time to review and consider providing comments on the revised guidelines and procedures by December 5th.  Comments can be emailed to transportation@austintexas.gov.
A second presentation will be made to UTC in December to follow up on any comments received.  Assuming no significant issues, the program will start in January 2012.

Paint the Elementary Schhol Portables - Saturday 11/19/2011 9AM

On Saturday the 19th at 9AM we have an opportunity to work together as neighbors and parent to paint the six portables at Bryker Woods Elementary. 
 
We hope give the buildings some color identity on-campus and add some beauty to the neighborhood.  Attached are copies of the three color schemes we are considering.  If you have a preference, please let us know by email to dbarcinski@aol.com .    Real paint samples are up long Kerbey Lane.  Each building will be one solid color and the Kerbey samples are just a test, not a scheme.
 
We need volunteers, brushes and ladders.  Please sign up via email to dbarcinski@aol.com if you can help.  Please list any equipment you can bring.   We will need a few early risers to show up at 8AM to help brush down the buildings in preparation for paint.
 
Thanks for your help.
