Hi folks! Our City Manager returned this week from vacation and had a full week! Welcome back!
Steve Jones spent two days at the Texas Transportation Forum. He learned of a possible long-term way to fund improvements to Flintrock Road. With luck we can partner with Travis County and the Feds to do the improvements with little cost to the City! I know I'm excited about the possiblity!
The City is planning to restripe the portion of Lohmans crossing where the crack sealing was done - new striping will improve the looks of the road.
Parks and Recreation Commission will meet on Tuesday at 6:30PM in Council Chambers. Here is the Agenda.
The City Building Commission will meet on Thursday January 14th at 9AM in the Council Chambers. Here is the Agenda.
The City is working to hire a new finance director. There have been some bumps in the road but they are moving forward and have a candidate. More on this soon.
ZAPCO recommended approval of a request to rezone the corner of RR 620 and Oak Grove Rd. form commercial to hotel-motel for a proposed Holiday Inn Express. Final approval of the re-zoning will be on the next Council Agenda.
The Activity Center sprinklers ran night before last and caused some ice in the parking lot. When they tried to sand the area, they found the sand inside the spreader was frozen solid. The truck and sand have since been thawed and were ready in case of any issues - luckily we didn't have any precipitation and didn't have any problems!
The repair work on Rough Hollow Drive started Monday - repairs should be done within a month and should not require road closures with any luck weather permitting.
The Lake Travis Band is delivering Lakeway telephone books Saturday - look for your copy on your front porch.
The City is reviewing plans for a 13,000 square foot Goodwill store to be built in front of the Vistas Condos (Glen Heather and 620). Goodwill has indicated that they are willing to work with the Thrift Store to minimize impact on them and the local crisis ministry.
There's a rumor that Buster's BBQ is still alive and plans to open up in the Town Center Shopping Center - This is good news!
Have a GREAT weekend!
