Austin Pulse. Morning Traffic and Pedestrian Buzz at the Heart of Austin

Hey y'all. Wednesday morning, uh, March 26th. It's 8:58 a.m. and this is Gary checking in from the intersection of 24th and Nueces. I'm standing on the patio of the Victory Lap bar, uh, which is in a beautiful building which I know as Three Sisters Court. There's a Starbucks on the other side of this. I'm just looking down on the traffic here on 24th. There's a set of three lights here. There's the intersection of Nueces, the intersection of San Antonio, and then further across the intersection with the Drag. And uh contrary to what the sign says here about all gas and no brakes, uh, these lights very rarely line up and you often get tailbacks forming and the intersection gets jammed up, um. I’m stepping down onto 24th Street, walking west towards West Campus now. Uh, it's Wednesday morning 9:03, March 26th, and coming up on the intersection of Nueces you can see quite significant pedestrian traffic here, um. Largely this is the main thoroughfare really from West Campus and the ever increasing skyline of condominiums and apartments springing up over here. And this is the way a lot of students walk to campus, in this case for their 9 a.m. class and now looking across at the intersection of San Antonio.Aand that's your view from West Campus Wednesday morning.
