Austin is gonna be an ice cube after the feds are done. Ice Station Austin! That ain't nothing. Wait until you see the deep freeze light rail and the 35 expansion are going to endure. For that matter all federal funding for the city. One thing is for sure the CoA management and the council are going to have some very difficult decisions to make in the not too distant future. How they proceed will affect the city for decades.
