Issues & Eggs: Waterloo Greenway – Austin’s Urban Connector

Location: Moody Amphitheater
Date: March 31, 2026
Time: 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM

Join Downtown Austin Alliance as they explore how the transformative public space of Waterloo Greenway is connecting Austin’s emerging districts—from the Medical District and Convention Center to Rainey Street and the Red River Cultural District.

As downtown’s eastern side develops, Waterloo Greenway is becoming the
central spine tying together health, culture, tourism and livability.

From walkability and wellness to cultural identity and economic development, hear from urban designers,
planners and community leaders as they share how this public investment is influencing design, density and
purpose across these neighborhoods.

Speakers: 

Dr. Colette Pierce Burnette, CEO of Waterloo Greenway

Brent Stringfellow, AVP for Campus Operations & University Architect

David Kanne, CEO of LV Collective

Katy Zamesnik, MPaff, Interim Director of Austin Convention Center

Moderator: Davon Barbour, President & CEO, Downtown Austin Alliance
