Special Community-Wide Meeting for North Austin

6:30p     Doors will be open for a 'meet and greet'

7-8:00p  Meeting


We know that a lot of people in North Austin continue to be frustrated with crime and the problems in our community, so we are holding a special community meeting on May 19th. We will be talking openly about North Austin's problems and what can be done to fix our main issues:

* I-35 corridor of crime

* Lack of urban planning when areas of North Austin were annexed

* big city issues of urban growth and crime

We will also talk about how these problems are adversely affecting Austin's future.

Please come if:

** You are worried about the crime and problems that plagues North Austin neighborhoods.

** You are worried about Austin's I-35 corridor of crime and how it might be affecting you.

** You live above or below North Austin, and you are worried these problems could spread into your neighborhoods.

** You care about the future of Austin and want to support North Austin in finding solutions.

** You want to send a strong message to the City and County that you support our community's efforts to insist things must change. We have invited many people from the City and County to come to this meeting and we've had quite a few folks who are promising to be there.

Our promise: There will be NO volunteer sign-up sheets, or donation cans at this meeting. The only thing we are asking is that you pass this info along, and invite your friends and neighbors to this meeting. We really need everybody who cares about North Austin to be there.

The Gracywoods Neighborhood Association is one of six neighborhoods that will be participating in this meeting.  We encourage you to come, meet some neighbors and share your concerns.
