Weekly Update

Several GOOD NEWS items!

TxDot has issued a "notice to proceed" to Capitol Excavating to start on the intersection of Serene Hills and Hwy 71 on February 10th. This means all is good and they can get started - won't be long until this will be another rout to Hwy. 71 from the Lakeway area.

If you wondered what was going on on Lohmans Crossing by the CVS, they were doing another French Drain to get rid of the wet area in the median. Hopefully the road will now dry out!

Our new Police Chief was nominated as a candidate for the Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce citizen of the year. What an honor! Hope he does well in the process!

The City will be planting trees on the South side of Lakeway Blvd. between Stony Creek and Hayden Ridge Drive. This area was cleared last year and the new trees will add to the appearance of this area.

We have two new officers that started to work for us on Monday. They are Mark Thomas and Sheldon Banta - if you see them welcome them to the force. Hopefully they won't be outside your car window.........

Highlands Blvd. is scheduled to open Saturday. I'm sure there are many folks that are looking forward to completion of the project.

The City is changing phone service from AT&T to Logix to take advantage of about a 30% savings. Their service is supposed to be at least as good as AT&T and customer service is touted as being better.

There appears to be interest in two new ordinances, one to prohibit texting while driving and the other to impose a fine for excessive police response to false alarms. We will see more on this soon.

Last but not least, Saturday morning is the annual pancake breakfast at the Activity Center. All Activity Center members eat free! The Mayor and City Council members and staff will serve you breakfast! See you there! Pancake Breakfast
