Parking Traffic Management District (PTMD)
Boudlin Creek Neighborhood Assn. is part of the the city’s PTMD which enables us to participate in using the funds generated by the parking fees paid on S. Congress, for example, for safety and parking improvement projects in our neighborhood. The city will be implementing permit parking in the area West of S. 1st later in 2026. If you live in that area you may want to attend our General Assn. Meetings and watch this page for updates.

Update from City of Austin, Austin Transportation and Public Works re: W. Gibson traffic and parking concerns (8/26)
The City of Austin requires 66% of households on a block support changes to existing parking. A survey delivered to households in recent weeks has resulted in the following:
600/700 Block of W. Gibson supports instituting the parking changes at this time.
Implement Hybrid RPP on the 600, 700 Southside Block which currently do not have parking management. Current permits would remain active, while the blocks would become permit-only during evening hours. Each residence would be eligible for up to two free residential permits. Hours of operatio can be seen in the attachment below. Days and Hours of enforcement increase to 7 days a week.
800 blocks of West Gibson currently lack the required 66% support to institute the proposed parking changes. It is not too late to submit your survey response.
Note: The Austin Transportation and Public Works is moving forward with its comprehensive implementation of parking changes in the area. Planned implementation is expected before the end of 2026.
If you did not respond to the survey and wish to do so, please respond to the survey link.

Lastly, repeated illegal parking has been taking place Thurs, Fri. and Sat. evenings on the Northside of W. Gibson. This endangers pedestrian walking on the street. Please call or enter the online 311 report. The more calls received by residents the sooner City Parking Enforcement respond.

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.
