Best City Bureaucrats

TIE: Tracy Watson; Carol Barrett

Watson is in charge of perfecting Austin's land-development process; Barrett oversees the neighborhood-planning project. Both have brought their projects off with prowess; without them and their teams, there ain't no Smart Growth in Austin, and because of them, we may in our lifetimes see a day when "development" is not synonymous with "battle."
