00:00:02.770 --> 00:00:08.070
The Trail Conservancy and Austin Parks and Recreation just launched
2
00:00:08.169 --> 00:00:12.830
phase two of the Seaholm Waterfront Project. This is going
3
00:00:12.869 --> 00:00:16.010
to turn the historic Seaholm intake facility right there on
4
00:00:16.030 --> 00:00:21.829
Cesar Chavez, right past Lamar into a community hub along
5
00:00:21.850 --> 00:00:24.420
the hike and bike trail. It's going to have a
6
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:28.000
little snack and coffee bar in it, a little amenities porch,
7
00:00:28.179 --> 00:00:32.439
a courtyard. You can have access to the water right there. Oh,
8
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.299
this is the intake building, not the main building. The
9
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:39.320
intake building, yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, they're turning it into
10
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.039
a fun little place to stop along the trail. The
11
00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:43.439
trail's becoming a destination.
12
00:00:43.460 --> 00:00:43.920
That's cool.
13
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:44.500
Location.
14
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.659
I've always thought it was kind of a shame. We've
15
00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:52.500
got this beautiful Lady Bird Lake and there's only like, What,
16
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:54.600
one restaurant overlooking the water?
17
00:00:54.619 --> 00:00:57.259
Mm-hmm. On the other side.
18
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.039
It's Cidercade. It's Cidercade now, but it used to be
19
00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:03.479
a seafood place. Like, there should be more restaurants overlooking
20
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:04.579
this beautiful view.
21
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:09.540
Yeah, and it's such a cool building. The architecture of
22
00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:13.359
the building, that mid-century kind of feel to it. I
23
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.560
don't know. It's very cool. It definitely, if they are
24
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.799
able to turn it into the community hub, I think
25
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:19.950
that's going to be so fun.
26
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.379
Interesting and cool. When you say community hub, is that
27
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.250
like where water fountains are and stuff?
28
00:01:25.310 --> 00:01:27.430
No, like they're going to have a snack bar, a
29
00:01:27.469 --> 00:01:30.290
coffee bar, a porch right there. So as you're walking
30
00:01:30.310 --> 00:01:33.030
or running along the porch, along the trail, you can
31
00:01:33.129 --> 00:01:36.359
walk in and sit down, meet your friends there, order
32
00:01:36.379 --> 00:01:36.900
a coffee.
33
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.140
Will they have matcha?
34
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.840
I'm sure they will. People like to taste the taste
35
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:43.200
of bone grass.
36
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.500
What's that one you drink, JB, that Looks like it's
37
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:47.340
got a loogie in it.
38
00:01:48.739 --> 00:01:49.280
Kombucha?
39
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:50.379
Kombucha.
40
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.239
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't do that.
41
00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:56.280
Looks like someone hacked a loogie into it. It doesn't
42
00:01:56.299 --> 00:01:57.099
look appetizing.
43
00:01:57.140 --> 00:01:59.159
That is true. But it's so good for your body.
44
00:01:59.480 --> 00:01:59.760
Yeah.
45
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:00.680
Oh, that's cool.
46
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.780
And again, we just told you yesterday about the announcement
47
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.579
to make a three-mile track from the airport for the
48
00:02:07.700 --> 00:02:08.379
light rail.
49
00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:09.379
Three miles.
50
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:10.000
Is this.
51
00:02:11.150 --> 00:02:13.270
anytime soon that this is going to happen?
52
00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:16.770
They've just launched the phase two part of this project.
53
00:02:16.849 --> 00:02:18.770
So I'm sure it still has to go through all
54
00:02:18.789 --> 00:02:22.150
of the approval process and all of that. Phase one,
55
00:02:22.330 --> 00:02:25.650
they did back in 2018. So that should let you
56
00:02:25.689 --> 00:02:27.710
know that this is on the slow track, apparently.
57
00:02:27.990 --> 00:02:30.650
That means we'll have one in Cedar Park before Austin does.
58
00:02:30.689 --> 00:02:31.840
Probably so.
59
00:02:32.939 --> 00:02:34.750
That is the story we love.
60
00:02:34.780 --> 00:02:36.840
That's some excellent reporting, Trish. I appreciate you.
61
00:02:36.860 --> 00:02:37.340
You're welcome.
