Austin is pretty lucky to have two creeks traversing through Downtown and the huge opportunities that come with them which Waller is beginning to be realized. These creeks are a major asset to Downtown and I have no doubt that sometime in the future, the city will do something similar with Shoal Creek as they are doing with Waller. Maybe a percentage of the tax income from development in the Waller Creek District can be set aside for a Shoal Creek flood control system.
That would be amazing. They're both beautiful and very different creeks. I would love to see more park space and connectivity for Shoal creek. It's so damn beautiful and vast.
