In an effort to address parking challenges for students, parking on Stephen F. Austin Drive will be reserved for Austin High School students between Cesar Chavez Street and Veterans Drive from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays. The road, which is actually a private street owned by AISD, will still be open to the public on weekends, school holidays and outside of the noted hours. The rule changes go into effect Monday, Jan. 6, and will be enforced by AISD police. A note from the city’s Transportation and Public Works Department warns, “There may be future changes to parking hours and/or days so the public should continue to check signs in the area regularly for allowable hours of public parking.”
