Outlook Case Number: C14-2025-0034 From Margaret F Surratt <msurratt@utexas.edu> Date Mon 5/12/2025 12:18 PM To Tomko, Jonathan <Jonathan.Tomko@austintexas.gov> You don't often get email from msurratt@utexas.edu. Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Although I'm not excited by the prospect, I'm not opposed given these conditions 1:  The historical significance of the Confederate Widow and Orphans be maintained and that the new building areas be compatible. 2:  Parking must be provided equal to the anticipated number of apartments.  The area is already a parking mess.  Some streets are for residents only because of the  problems related to neighborhood parking by UT students.  The situation is already a mess without creating more parking volume. Lots in the neighborhood are narrow and long and it's already completely at maximum parking capacity  especially on city trash, recycling and compost days.  3. Even if parking is provided, leaving the area will be a problem -- 38th street is extremely busy already and West 35th & 37th streets already have a large volume of traffic.  There are businesses at the corner of West 37th street which results in a congested mess already  especially during peak traffic periods. 4:  Driving around Austin there seems to be a lot of space for additional housing  but it needs to be a size that is compatible with the neighborhood and ALL neighborhoods should share in creating new housing opportunities and not just areas in the city core.  Existing residential neighborhoods through the city should be providing not just areas near bus lines.   Thank you Margaret Surratt at 307 W 37th resident since 1969 CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.
