Red River's Glow-Up, City Threatens Overpaid Workers, & Reggae Fest
Friday, 17 April, 2026
The Red River Cultural District has unveiled a plan to revamp its so-called "Music Mile," a 10-block stretch from 15th to 5th streets. The proposal follows the district's recent economic impact report, but doesn’t mention how much the makeover would cost. On today's Friday News Roundup, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by producers Elissa Castles and Eva Ruth Moravec to discuss the hopeful changes coming and why upgrading and preserving the street matters. Plus, a lightning round of news updates on: the Cabana Club shooting, Austin's best-in-the-nation coffee (we agree), and why some city employees were threatened with a lawsuit. Then, stick around for the team's weekend picks! Want some more Austin news? Then make sure to sign up for our City Cast Austin newsletter.
