Met with greenspace leaders across Austin to talk about the importance of protecting Austin's green areas. When I served as Mayor, I ensured our city preserved historical amounts of land for greenspace. This is critical to help mitigate the most severe impacts of #ClimateChange. https://t.co/BatBS0Ejt5

Customers do not need to call 311 for the final citywide pass. Crews are driving all streets &amp; picking up debris properly set at the curb. As of March 20, crews have collected over 166,000 tons of debris &amp; over 23,000 truckloads. https://t.co/Vpmhhe8Fbe

Austin Resource Recovery now has a page that shows sections where the first pass debris pick up is complete, currently being worked on, and more: https://t.co/MZ6M5wQcIU Over 123K tons of debris have been collected so far, which would fill more than three Q2 stadiums.
