This is a "throw the spaghetti at the wall" guess, but perhaps they're trying to tinker with the traffic light timing?  It's weird - Travis is pretty well synchronized, while on Austin, which also runs north in a less trafficked area of downtown, it seems like one has to stop at just about every block.  Cleaning that up could certainly take some load off of Travis.

Probably doesn't count as activity, but there were some workers in a pickup truck next to an empty flatbed trailer parked on the lot today. They weren't actually doing anything, but they did look to be employed and purposfully on the site, so the pot is still being watched.

Maybe we can pitch in and get you a shotgun microphone for these situations.

This could be for the little white (garage?) building on the right side of Nate's photo, built about 10 years ago, that will have to disappear according to the site plan in post #266.

 

You may be right.. To answer your question, no. They do not need to pull a permit just to clear a parking lot.

That is a walled in private parking lot with an automatic gate entrance on Prairie between El Big Bad/Cabo and Byrds/Georgia's Market. I figured it was for the tenants of whatever was upstairs from Georgia's, but don't actually know.

Correct.  Those are the parking spots for the condominium owners/residents on the upper floors of the Byrd Building.  Very interesting that it's included in the Hines project footprint.  I presume they have made arrangements with the condo owners to provide parking in the new Hines structure.
