City of Austin Wastewater, Storm Water, & Water Line Projects

Planned City of Austin water projects that were expected to begin in 2025 and 2026 will be delayed.  South First Street and Riverside projects will begin in late 2026.  The Annie Street storm water project will not begin till January 2027 at the soonest.   As additional information comes from the City we will update schedules that impact roadways.  

PTMD / Parking Transportation Management District Updates

Residents living in the Parking Traffic Management District (between So. Congress and So. First Street) will see enforcement officers patrolling and ticketing on Sundays beginning at 1:00 pm.  Other improvements will include the placement of hockey sticks (paint markings at alleys, and driveways) at residences closest to So. Congress.  These should help with cars blocking driveways and alleys.  

Additional setback markings will be added at stop sign intersections along Eva, Newton and Monroe.  The placement of these markings will help with line of site when turning into intersections. Tow-away signage is being installed along Newton St. across from the Texas School for the Deaf.  

The SoCo PTMD is studying the traffic patterns on residential streets West of South First including Dawson Rd.  Austin Transportation Department will review the current parking and obstruction issues associated with free parking on Dawson Rd between Barton Springs Rd. and Ebony St.  This roadway varies in width, and driving safely 

is impacted by delivery trucks and parked cars. 

Lastly, The SoCo PTMD will use the traffic pattern study for west 

of So. First Street in preparation for 2026 expansion of paid parking on some residential streets.  Residents living on proposed paid parking streets will receive advance notification and the ability to meet with City of Austin Enterprise Parking Department staff.  This expansion will likely take place mid 2026.
