We're Going to Court

Today, RG4N filed a lawsuit in Travis County District Court against the City of Austin and Lincoln Property Company to invalidate the developer's site plan.

We can't say it better than our attorney, Brad Rockwell, did:

We have spent months trying to get our City to simply enforce the land use regulations against Lincoln Property and Wal-Mart. Our City could not be persuaded to follow the law. So now, we've filed suit in order to get a court to order our City and to order Lincoln Property to obey the law.

The site plan approved on Tuesday, June 26, is illegal. When successful, this suit will get it declared illegal and invalid, and prevent Lincoln Property Company and Wal-Mart from destroying Northcross and turning it into a mammoth big box store.

You can get more details in our full press statement and our lawsuit petition.

We think you'll see that we have a very strong case. When we win, the developer will have to submit a new site plan that will be subject to several new laws and regulations that will require a completely different type of development than is currently planned for Northcross.

Help us Pay for the Lawsuit

For RG4N to prevail, we need financial support not only from our Northcross area supporters, but also from people all across Austin. Please donate online today.

Our next community meeting will be on Wednesday, July 18 at 7pm.

Protest This Weekend and Every Weekend

Join us each Saturday from 11am to noon at the corner of Anderson Lane and Burnet Road to show your support for a better vision for Northcross. Between the lawsuit and ongoing demonstrations of public opposition to the Northcross project, maybe the developer will decide its easier to work with us than against us!

We'll have some signs but feel free to bring your own. Bring water. Join us and wear red!
