Three of six neighborhoods near the outskirts of Austin will be removed, or “disannexed,” from the city limits following voter approval in Saturday's election.
That includes Lost Creek in West Austin, the largest of the three.

One thing we can all agree on: Bringing East and West Austin together with these spaces is better for everyone. – at Washington, DC

Luka our urbanist king
Luka Doncic bought a Mercedes-Benz N+ electric bike for every Dallas Mavericks player, coach, and support staff member.
These bikes retail at $6,000, have dual motors, a top speed of up to 28 mph, and a 75-mile range.
Pretty sweet Christmas gift.
Love to see it @AustinPublicLib
People who live in unincorporated areas outside the city will soon no longer have to pay $120 for an Austin public library card.
