Bouldin’s Back Baby Party Wrap-up
A great neighborhood gathering and party. A chance to catch up with neighbors not seen in a year or so and meet new neighbors. A lot of folks to thank for their time, energy and donations.
Also a big thank you to the folks at El Mercado South-Tony Villagas, owner, Eddie Mandujano, Manager, and the staff taking good care of the crowd.
Follow up party at 1417.

Parking Update
4th of July, Bouldin gathering and barricades
From Thom Parker Traffic@bouldincreek.org
Sunday July 4th Austin Symphony and Fireworks Show sponsored by HEB
Vic Mathias Shores 8:00 PM
The July 4th HEB Austin Symphony Concert and Fireworks Show is the first of two announced Special Events requiring barricades to enter neighborhood. Barricades will be placed at the Northern entries from Barton Springs at Bouldin Ave. and Dawson and on W. Gibson at Christopher, Bouldin Ave. and South 5th St.
Residents living within the Orange and Pink Sectors located between Barton Springs on the North and Gibson St. on the South will receive 2- Bouldin 2021 Access Pass for each household within these two sectors.
Further Notice
Officers,
Please see the attached letter from Austin Police Department re: manned barricades for July 4th. I will send this on to membership. This almost defeats the value of barricades. Since most persons will arrive for the show after 5:00 pm. I smell some posturing here by APD although I know that APD is undermanned. It should be noted that the letter also went to PARD and Special Events staff. I’m not sure if PARD or the ACE offices will have any answers for us. Thom Parker
Mr. Parker,
I wanted to inform you that on July 4th we have officers scheduled to work the Bouldin closure from 12noon until 11pm. However, due to staffing levels this year, at 5pm I will need to pull those officers off the Bouldin closure and place them in more critical positions around the event. The barricades will remain in place, and the officers will be there from 12noon until 5pm. The only difference is at 5pm they will leave to more critical positions that need to be covered to make the event safe.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions. 737-228-9671.
Regards,
Mike
