A pedestrian connection restored
The City reported in February 2026 that a new pedestrian bridge was open after flooding destroyed the previous crossing in 2015. The completed crossing is distinct from older descriptions of an impassable gap.[2]

78741: Roy G. Guerrero’s restored creek crossing
Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Metropolitan Park offers a story of parkland restoration as well as recreation. A completed City erosion project repaired a major break in park connectivity caused by the 2015 floods.
3 linked sources · CheckedStormwater engineering in the landscape
The project includes three grade-control structures that step water downward toward the Colorado River. These features address erosion along the creek known as Country Club West; they are infrastructure, not designated recreation equipment.[2]
Restoring the channel’s edges
The City describes a naturalized river bottom, rock and native-grass stabilization and newly planted trees. The work protects parkland and nearby infrastructure while rebuilding a damaged landscape.[2]
Plan a little better
Before you go
- Use the completed project as historical context
- The February 2026 notice confirms the bridge opening and completion of the stabilization work. Check current park notices for conditions on the day you visit rather than treating project completion as a permanent access guarantee.[2]
- Choose a named destination within the park
- Use the City park directory’s address and map for Roy G. Guerrero, then choose the relevant route on site. A large park name alone is a poor meeting-point description.[1]
A few things to know
Was the pedestrian bridge replaced?
Yes. The City’s February 2026 completion notice says the new pedestrian bridge is open, replacing the connection lost in the 2015 floods.[2]
Does a ZIP code describe an exact neighborhood boundary?
No. Postal ZIP codes organize mail delivery. Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are generalized statistical geographies, and neither should replace a neighborhood boundary or a specific park entrance.[3]

Restaurant health inspections in 78741
Austin Public Health has scored 1,501 inspections at 195 facilities in ZIP 78741, averaging 90.2/100. Of those scored visits, 920 scored 90 or above, 430 scored 80–89 and 151 scored below 80. The average weighs every visit rather than every restaurant, so a facility inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag.

Where 78741’s restaurants stand today
Counting each of the 195 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 92/100, 119 currently sit at 90 or above, and 18 are below 80 (9.2% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.

Only businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit file these returns, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants, coffee shops and every unlicensed kitchen in 78741 are absent from this count entirely. “Top” here means alcohol receipts reported to the state, not quality or popularity. A venue that closed keeps appearing until it stops filing, and August 2026 is the most recent month the Comptroller has published — not the current one.

Neighborhoods in and around 78741
1 City of Austin neighborhood planning area has a boundary containing the centroid of ZIP 78741. These two geographies do not nest. A planning area can straddle several ZIPs and a ZIP can cover parts of several planning areas, so read this as “overlaps”, never as “78741 contains” or “is inside”. The test here is a single point — the ZIP’s centroid — so a planning area covering the edge of 78741 but not its middle will be missing from this list.
Boundaries: City of Austin neighborhood planning areas. Overlap is computed by point-in-polygon against each ZIP’s centroid, which is a coarse test and is the reason this list is short.
Economy and county context for 78741
This site publishes no economic figures at ZIP level — no ZIP-level income, employment or business counts are held here, and none are estimated from county numbers. What follows describes Travis County, the county ZIP 78741 sits in (100% of its 311 requests carry that county). A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat these figures as the surrounding context, not as a description of 78741.

Across Travis County, Austin 311 has recorded 2,362,887 service requests spanning 63 ZIP codes, closing half of the last 12 months' requests within 25 hours. That corpus is City of Austin 311 only, so it counts requests made to Austin at addresses in the county — a meaningful figure for Travis, a partial one anywhere Austin is not the service provider.

Common questions about 78741
Where is 78741 located?
ZIP code 78741 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under South & Southeast. City of Austin neighborhood planning areas whose boundary contains the 78741 centroid include Pleasant Valley. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.
Is 78741 safe?
This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any Austin ZIP code, so it cannot answer that question and does not try to. What it can tell you is what residents reported and what the city acted on: 9,654 311 service requests were filed in 78741 in the most recent 12 months of data (through October 11, 2026), 6,151 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 388 of those are still open. Report counts are not a safety rating and should not be read as one: a ZIP that files more 311 requests may simply have residents who report more, and a code complaint is an allegation the city has not necessarily upheld. Source: City of Austin open data, datasets xwdj-i9he and 6wtj-zbtb.
How many 311 requests are open in 78741?
663 311 service requests in ZIP 78741 were still open or in progress as of October 11, 2026 — 650 open and 13 in progress. Residents filed 9,654 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 776 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.
How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78741?
Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78741 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 29 hours, and nine in ten within 23 days. That is 4.1 hours slower than the citywide median of 25 hours. Both figures are computed the same way — median hours from opened to closed, over requests opened in the same 12-month window — which is what makes comparing them meaningful. A median describes the middle case, not the worst one. Source: City of Austin 311, dataset xwdj-i9he.
How many code enforcement cases are there in 78741?
Austin Code has opened 6,151 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78741, of which 388 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 8.0 days to resolve. 2,100 cases are flagged as related to Austin's Repeat Offender Program for multifamily properties. A code case records an allegation that was investigated, not a finding of wrongdoing, and this site publishes no case addresses. Source: City of Austin Code Cases, dataset 6wtj-zbtb.
How many restaurants in 78741 have been inspected?
Austin Public Health has scored 1,501 inspections at 195 distinct facilities in ZIP 78741, averaging 90.2/100 across those visits. That average weighs every inspection equally, so a restaurant inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag, so the newest score on file is not necessarily from this week. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
How do restaurants in 78741 score on health inspections?
Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78741 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 92 out of 100 across 195 facilities. 119 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 18 at their last visit came in below 80 — 9.2% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Thundercloud Subs (100), Baty Elementary School (100), Allison Elementary (100). This counts one score per restaurant, not one per visit, so a frequently-inspected kitchen does not pull the figure on its own. A score grades a single inspection on a single day against a checklist — it is not a rating of the food or of the restaurant, and a low score is routinely corrected on the next visit. Newest inspection on file in this ZIP: August 31, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
What are the top bars in 78741?
34 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78741 for August 2026, totalling $1,246,131 in alcohol receipts — #18 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were JACKALOPE ($297,804), FRAZIER'S ($164,565), 1618 ASIAN FUSION ($96,239). "Top" here means alcohol sales reported to the Texas Comptroller, not quality, popularity or crowd — and only businesses with a mixed-beverage permit file at all, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants and coffee shops are absent entirely. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, dataset naix-2893.
What is the economy like around 78741?
No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78741 sits in Travis County, where unemployment was 3.9% in August 1, 2026 with a labor force of 876,530. A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat this as context rather than a description of 78741.
