Timed to celebrate a new sisterhood with Limerick, Ireland, City Hall has welcomed a new wayfinding landmark that marks its proximity to its many sibling cities around the world. The sign, which was erected in front of City Hall, was fabricated and installed by the Transportation and Public Works Department in recognition of the Economic Development Department’s Sister Cities Program that is designed to foster relationships worldwide and promote Austin’s culture. Currently, Austin has 13 Sister Cities, two Friendship Cities and five Emeritus Sister Cities.
