Alcohol at Barton Springs back at Parks Board Tues. 9/28

​Please Urge the Austin Parks Board to Vote Again to Keep Alcohol Sales Out of Zilker Park: The Austin Parks Board has voted twice recommending against the sale of alcohol at the recently restored Barton Springs concession stand.  For technical reasons the Board is considering the matter for a third time at its meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, evening at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall.  If you can attend this meeting (the Board’s first in-person meeting) to thank the Board for its previous votes and to urge the Board to do it again, please do. 
If you cannot attend, please send an email to Sammi Curless, the Parks Board support person, sammi.curless@austintexas.gov, with a copy to Parks Board Chair Dawn Lewis, at BC-Dawn.Lewis@austintexas.gov.  Ask Ms. Curless and Chair Lewis to share your message opposing the sale of alcohol at Barton Springs (for public health, safety, and overcrowding reasons or for your own personal reasons) with the entire parks board. You can watch the Parks Board meeting live at 6:00 p.m. here.  Thank you for weighing in; public engagement is working on this one!!
