We’ll be thanking Councilmember Tovo for her years of service to District 9, approving a budget for 2023, and voting on new Steering Committee members.
We are the central neighborhood in the Live Music Capital of the World, what better way to celebrate than by hosting our own live music event!

Neighborhood musicians Above Ground, Junerise, Jake Andrews, and 9 1/2 Street Project will be playing. Let’s support them! Terry Lickona, neighborhood resident and executive producer of Austin City Limits, will be our MC.
We’ll also have the Fibonacci food truck. Bring a blanket and/or chairs, a beverage of choice, and stay a while!

Hello Neighbors!
Please join us on Tuesday, June 7 for our next General Membership meeting. The meeting will start promptly at 7pm at the Mathews Elementary School cafeteria (906 W. Lynn). Feel free arrive early to chat so we can start on time.
We’ll be discussing new and ongoing residential and commercial developments in the neighborhood, and possible changes to the City of Austin Land Development code, specifically Vertical Mixed Use and compatibility standards that would affect our neighborhood. More information is in our most recent OWL Newsletter.
Learn more about meeting details in our draft agenda.
Hope to see you there!
Austin’s City Council is considering changes to the City’s Vertical Mixed Use Ordinance, which would allow for increased height in exchange for more affordable housing. Details on this proposal are in the agenda backup for the April 21, 2022 City Council hearing. OWANA will keep you posted on developments on this proposal, as it may have major impacts for the residences adjacent to corridors such as 6th Street and Lamar.
OWANA recently sent a letter to our District 9 Councilperson, Kathie Tovo, expressing support for increasing affordable housing opportunities in the neighborhood while also maintaining compatibility standards for developments along major corridors near residences.
Join us on Saturday, April 16, at West Austin Park. The kids’ Easter Egg Hunt will start promptly at 8am.
Cold Brew coffee and food will generously be provided by neighborhood restaurant/brewery Hold Out Brewing (who is now serving brunch!).
***Also, we need filled eggs for kids to hunt! You can drop them off at 1417 W. 10th St. Feel free to fill them with small toys, coins, or candy (ideally no chocolate). Thank you!***
Hope you can join us to get to know your neighbors and watch some cute kids hunt for eggs!
