Weekly Update / Highlands Blvd!

Here we go!

The Charter Review Committee has been hard at work and identified 22 possible amendments that are categorized as high, medium, or low priority. At the last meeting, they paired it down to 12 propositions they are bringing to council for consideration. Those that are approved by council will be included for citizens to vote on at the next election.

The City received a draft of our FY 2009 audit. They received a "clean" report that means our financial statements accurately reflect the city's financial position.

There appears to be a problem with the Lifeguard Certification program and the Red Cross has revoked the lifeguard's certificates. The City is working to resolve the situation with the Red Cross and the Contractor.

As previously reported, Lohmans Crossing between Lakeway Blvd. and Sailmaster is failing and will need to be completely redone. This will be an extensive and expensive project and will probably require all traffic to be re-routed to Lakeway Dr. More on this as it comes available!

Work is progressing well on Rough Hollow Dr. and they are nearly finished building the new retaining wall. Once complete, they will restore the road and it will re-open to traffic. I know all in the area will be glad to see completion of the project. You still have a little time to take advantage of the 1/2 price specials at the Rough Hollow Grill. Check it out!

OK - for the big news! A message board was installed Friday to warn drivers of an impending change to the intersection of Bee Creek Road and Highlands Blvd. The current plan is to OPEN HIGHLANDS BLVD. to traffic on January 30th. I will try to let you know if there are any changes to this date.

Thanks for looking! As always, if you want to be notified of new posts, email me at lakeway@bain.us and I will put you on the email list!
