Allandale Village – Our Neighborhood Shopping Center
Tom Linehan My memory of the stores that have come and gone in Allandale Village over the last 25 years is sparse. H-E-B has always been there.

Please, if you have a moment, send a quick email to Dan.Dargevics@CampoTexas.org before March 1 expressing support for the following projects that will help provide alternative forms of transportation in North Central Austin:
- Burnet sidewalks – ADA-compliant sidewalks from Koenig to 183.
- Rail with Trails – bike/ped trails along the city's Leander-downtown commuter rail line, would allow bicycles to get across town with a minimun of unsafe street crossings.
- Bus/Rapid Transit N Lamar/S Congress
- Bus/Rapid Transit Burnet/S Lamar
- Bicycle Infrastructure Improvements (city-wide)
- Bicycle, Shared Path, Connected Trails and Sidewalk Project (city-wide)
These are among the thousands of infrastructure projects being submitted for federal funding this year. Council Member Sheryl Cole estimated that only 20-30% of the projects from Austin will get funded. Demonstrating strong grass roots support can't hurt.

You may be greeted with the February Issue of Allandale Neighbor today whey you arrive home. Well if not today, then tomorrow, or maybe the day after. In this issue we include a number of articles about what is going on in the neighborhood and what's coming up plus an insert that we've called Allandale's Economic Stimulus Package. With it being a new administration and all, we figured it would take some time for the federal government's package to get to us here in Allandale so we've partnered with local merchants to kick start it. Use it.
Under the heading of "Know your Neighborhood," we have an article about Allandale Village. It is our neighborhood shopping center and one of the oldest suburban shopping centers in the city.
