Summary
Austin’s Waller Creek just got a $91 million makeover, turning a flood-prone mess into a lush 13-acre green oasis called “The Confluence.” Featuring boardwalks, bridges, trails, and serious eco-tech like a $12M biofiltration pond that cleans runoff from 26 acres using just soil, sand, and plants, this isn’t just pretty—it’s powerful infrastructure. Temperatures here dip 5–7 degrees cooler than street level, 1,600 trees and 200,000 plants have been planted, and wildlife like herons and turtles are already returning. Opening June 6, it’s a downtown revival that’s as functional as it is beautiful—proof that cities can heal and thrive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
