    Welcome to Austin News Update, I'm Morgan Riley. Today is Saturday, June 7th, 2025, and here's what's happening in our city.

    Word on the streets of Austin is the police department is investigating a traffic fatality that occurred yesterday at the intersection of East Ben White Boulevard service road westbound and East Riverside Drive. APD is also continuing their investigation into an officer-involved shooting that took place on May 31st at the intersection of Research Boulevard service road northbound and North Lamar Boulevard.

    In other news, the city has been experiencing a measles outbreak, but health officials reported no new cases as of yesterday. This is promising news for Central Texas residents who have been concerned about the spread of this highly contagious disease.

    A Hutto mother is advocating for changes at a busy intersection following her son's motorcycle accident. She hopes improved safety measures will prevent similar incidents in the future.

    Turning to our community calendar, this weekend is packed with events across Texas. Here in Austin, the Agave Festival continues through tomorrow in Marfa, celebrating the iconic plant with spirit tastings, films, dining, and music events.

  • "Resilient Austin: Navigating Storms, Civic Engagement, and Community Spirit"

    "Resilient Austin: Navigating Storms, Civic Engagement, and Community Spirit"
    2025/06/06
    Word on the streets of Austin is that our city has always been resilient and community-oriented, and this week is no exception. I’m Morgan Riley, and here’s a warm welcome to your local news update, where we keep you informed about the stories shaping Austin’s present and future.

    We begin with a developing story that’s had a real impact across Central Austin. Severe storms swept across the area, bringing flash flooding and large hail. Many Austinites experienced property damage, while first responders worked round the clock conducting water rescues and securing debris. City officials are urging everyone to remain cautious around low-water crossings, as more rain is expected through the weekend. Emergency services have also set up temporary shelters and support stations for residents affected by the storms, reflecting Austin’s trademark neighborliness and preparedness.

    In city news, the Austin community is being invited to participate in a survey on the 2026 Bond proposal. This process lets residents weigh in on priorities ranging from infrastructure repairs to park improvements, and the survey is open through June 23. It’s one of the many ways Austin ensures that growth aligns with community voices, a throughline from our historic town hall traditions to today’s digital feedback loops. Meanwhile, the city announced expanded recycling options—Austinites can now include cartons and coated paper products in their bins, a small change with significant environmental benefits over time.

    For today’s human interest spotlight, let’s swing by South Congress, where the family-owned Amy’s Ice Creams was recently recognized by the city for its decades-long commitment to hiring local youth and fostering creative community events. Amy Simmons, the founder, notes that she’s proud to see former scoopers now leading their own businesses around Austin, a testament to the city’s entrepreneurial spirit and emphasis on mentorship.

    As for weather, keep those umbrellas handy. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are in the forecast through Sunday, with highs in the upper 80s and some muggy nights ahead. If you’re looking for a dry spot, the Blanton Museum’s summer exhibits are open, and the Barton Springs Pool is hosting evening swims all weekend. For families, the city’s free swim lessons at local pools are also available—just check the Parks and Recreation website for signups.

    Austin is a city of big ideas and even bigger hearts, where classic stories of neighbors helping neighbors meet new challenges and innovation. Whether you’re voicing your thoughts on public projects, lending a hand after a storm, or simply enjoying a local scoop, you’re part of what makes Austin thrive. This has been Morgan Riley, your neighbor in the news. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an Austin news update.

  • Weathering the Storm: Resilience and Community in Austin's Aftermath

    Weathering the Storm: Resilience and Community in Austin's Aftermath
    2025/06/04
    Word on the streets of Austin is that our city is recovering from a week of wild weather, while big discussions—from city council meetings to the everyday sidewalk chats—continue to shape the community we share.

    At the top of the news today: Central Texas is still cleaning up after last week’s intense storms, which brought flash flooding, hail, and damaging winds across Austin. Roads in several neighborhoods were temporarily closed, and local utilities worked around the clock to restore power to thousands. The National Weather Service recorded wind gusts topping 60 miles per hour in some areas. Thankfully, while property damage was widespread, reports of serious injuries have been minimal. Even as we mop up and make repairs, city leaders are asking for residents to stay alert, as forecasters predict more rain in the coming days.

    In response to the storm, the city has also expanded emergency grant opportunities for community groups helping with recovery efforts. And, for those looking to get involved in shaping Austin’s future, the city has opened a survey for the 2026 Bond package. Input from Austinites will influence which public projects—from parks to infrastructure—move forward, so your voice truly matters.

    Switching gears to a story that blends resilience with community spirit: The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter has launched new “Reunion Stations” to help reunite lost pets with their families after the recent storms. Volunteers and staff have been working extra hours, and many happy reunions have already taken place. Folks like Maria Gutierrez, a shelter volunteer for over a decade, say that moments like these remind us how compassionate Austinites come together when it counts.

    On the local government front, there’s been movement at City Hall—literally and politically. The city manager has pulled a contentious proposal on automated license plate readers from the council agenda following strong public feedback. Meanwhile, Austin continues its push towards sustainability, saving $2.5 million so far through an ambitious electric vehicle fleet program targeting carbon neutrality by 2030.

    Turning to weather: After a humid 80-degree morning, temperatures are headed toward the mid-90s through the weekend. Keep your umbrella handy—forecasters expect scattered storms to return, so remember those flood safety tips. Allergy counts remain high, so those sensitive to pollen may want to limit time outdoors.

    Looking ahead: The city swim lesson program is open for kids and adults all summer long—an excellent way for families to stay active and safe in the heat. Community organizations can also apply for new $3,000 grants to boost neighborhood projects, with applications open through mid-July.

    As we close, it’s worth remembering that Austin’s character shines brightest when we weather storms—literal and metaphorical—side by side. Whether you’re new to town or a lifelong resident, your voice, your stories, and your kindness help keep this city vibrant. This has been Morgan Riley, your neighbor in the news.
