Get Involved with Neighborhood Watch!
Milwood has an active Neighborhood Watch program, with about 16 streets currently participating in the program. If you’re interested to learn more, you can start on the Neighborhood Watch page.
If you are new to the neighborhood, you can check to see if your street currently has a Neighborhood Watch Block Captain. If you already live in the neighborhood and have a block captain for your street, you should know it because you should be receiving occasional emails about what is happening in the neighborhood. If not, and you’d like to volunteer to be your street’s Block Captain, just send us a note and the Neighborhood Watch Coordinator will help get you started.
This coming Tuesday, October 2, 2012, is National Night Out Against Crime. If your street doesn’t have anything formal planned, consider chatting with your neighbors to organize something. It can be as simple as turning on your porch light and stepping out your front door to get to know your neighbors!

Sustainable Neighborhoods Meeting
On Thu September 20 at 7 PM, CapMetro will hold a public workshop at the Sustainable Neighborhoods meeting for a high capacity public transit plan covering all of North Austin from downtown to Georgetown, and from Mopac to SH 130. See http://connectcentraltexas.com/northcorridor/ for details on the planning area.
North Central Austin falls squarely in that zone, with some outstanding questions including:
– Should CapMetro site a commuter rail station at Burnet – 183 on the existing Leander to downtown red line, as was recently proposed
– Should there be a commuter rail station on the Mopac Lone Star line at Anderson Ln
– What is the optimum route for a proposed light rail line (the current proposal is downtown to Mueller, but downtown up N Lamar has a number of supporters)
– Should there be a rapid bus line running from Airport, up Anderson, across Mopac, down Jollyville Rd
– Will the above questions change the locations of rapid bus stations currently planned on Burnet (at Ohlen, Northcross, Koenig and North Loop)
– How much new housing would need to be zoned to support each transportation option
– How much of the housing would be affordable and oriented towards families with children, thereby preserving our area’s existing diverse demographic mix
– What would be the cost and timeline for any changes
Come on out and participate in this intriguing conversation with the CapMetro planners who are making decisions that will greatly affect the future of our community. It is from 7 to 8:30 PM at the Village Christian Apartments rec center, 7925 Rockwood Ln. Please see specific instructions on parking here.
