City offices to open late today
Thursday, March 5, 2015 by Mark Richardson
City of Austin government facilities will open at 1 p.m. today due to a forecast of winter weather conditions. The regularly scheduled City Council meeting will not begin until 1:30 p.m. The delayed openings include Austin Municipal Courts, Downtown Austin Community Court and the Public Library system. In addition, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport may be experiencing delays. Air travelers can check their flight status here. Austin Resource Recovery will not collect trash, recycling or yard trimmings today. The curbside collection schedule will slide one day this week. City emergency officials warn the public to avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary. Morning commuters should be alert for work crews and service trucks performing preventive measures on area roads. For up-to-date information about city operations, monitor city social media on Twitter or Facebook. The city will include #atxwx in most social media posts.
