The city's final draft of the Zilker Park Vision Plan has drawn the ire of environmentalists who say it turns the park into a cash cow for Live Nation/Ticketmaster.
, a principal with Design Workshop and vice chair of the city Planning Commission., president of ZNA, says,"It looks like money's going to come from mega donors associated with ... commercial transactors in the park." What those donors want, she says, is parking. She speculates that another organization that has advocated for increased parking – the– is a cover for"the needs of ACL, C3, Live Nation/Ticketmaster [that are] not overt.
he thinks PARD should"direct more money towards more staff to take care of the parks that they have. I just think it's too much for the general public to digest. If they had said, 'We'd like to do a land bridge' ... and then pitched that, the public could get behind that. When you do all this stuff it makes it look like they wanna dig the whole park up."
In terms of the cost, along with the potential conservancy model, Hempel anticipates a parks bond in 2024 that would allocate funding for not only Zilker, but other parks that have already had a vision planning process, such as. The plan doesn't include exact costs because of"market volatility ... a neat price total amount would be worthless to the city in six months," says Hempel, but it does include a general cost-benefit analysis.
