The city of Austin is looking for ways to keep all eyes on the state capitol building.
"City Council approved a resolution Thursday aimed at preserving “visual corridors” of the state Capitol in East Austin," reports Jack Craver.
The resolution "asks city staff to analyze five corridors east of I-35 and to propose one or more ways that Council could preserve them, similar to how it has preserved other visual corridors in other parts of the city."
Craver also details the political debate at the City Council meeting that preceded the approval of the resolution.
