The Zilker Neighborhood Association (ZNA) was established with the mission of protecting the character of our neighborhood and enhancing the quality of life for all of our residents. ZNA is a volunteer organization that works to ensure appropriate code enforcement, resolve traffic safety issues, maintain our historic and cultural resources, protect our environment and ensure that our neighborhood’s interests are heard at City Hall.

PUD Opposition -- In the past few years, the City Council has begun the process of over-developing our City without regard for the character and beauty that made Austin a world-class city. They have done this through (among other things) a process called a Planned Unit Development (a “PUD”). The use of the PUD has been overused. More information and a petition against overusing PUD zoning can be found here. (updated 17 Nov 2022)
