Chief Todd Radford speaking to the Lakeway Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association on Wednesday night. There were about 25 folks present. This organization was formed by graduates of the Citizens Police Academy that Detective Mary Proctor puts on every year. Watch for notice a new class is forming!
The intersection project at SH 71 and Serene Hills Road is being bid out by TxDot and is on schedule to be awarded to a contractor in December. That means the work should at least get underway in the first quarter of 2010.
TCEQ soundly rejected the petition for Granite Shoals and Leander to abolish the "no discharge" rule for the Highland Lakes. It appears they are not interested in any change to the rules.
Deer trapping has begun and so far 27 deer have been trapped this season. We may not reach our estimated 125 this year - maybe the population has been reduced to a more manageable number (maybe the deer are getting smarter!).
The 18 year old man that was involved in the collision on 620 last Saturday has been charged with criminally negligent homicide. He has no drivers license and has family in Mexico, Judge Madison considered him a high flight risk and set his bail at $250,000.
Lake Travis Fire and Rescue will be remodeling and renovating the Lohmans Crossing fire station. While the work is proceeding there will be portable buildings in front of the station for the firefighters. Expected completion and removal of the temporary buildings is before April 1, 2010.
The CBC denied the request for a variance in the height of a Holiday Inn Thursday. It appears that the developer is now planning to reduce the height by digging into the hill side and possibly reducing the pitch of the roof to meet the 32' limit. They will go before ZAPCO and the City Council to try to get the zoning changed from C-1 to Hotel / Motel.
There is a significant road failure on Rough Hollow Drive just South of Canyon Turn Trail. As you can see, the ground under the road has collapsed and is falling away. This seems to be a major issue and may take some time to correct.
A contractor has been working on Lohmans Crossing at Lohmans Spur to install a French Drain that will hopefully correct the problem with water standing on the road.
Don't forget the Trail of Lights program on November 30th in the Activity Center Parking Lot! It promises to be a big hit with the kids!
