TTC diligently maintains the areas surrounding the commemorative brick plots; however, we are unable to re-engrave or replace existing bricks, as they do not qualify for permanent recognition per the City of Austin code. The City has a threshold of $25,000 for permanent recognition in parkland, including the Butler Trail.
If the area of the brick is obstructed by overgrowth, debris, or any other obstructions, please provide the exact location and we can coordinate clean-up of the area.
