Week's End - Events this weekend!

Lakeway Police Prescription Take Back Initiative - This Saturday! Get rid of unwanted prescription drugs. Here's a link to more information!

Effective April 27th - As of April 27, 2011, no ground fires or cooking fires are allowed in Lakeway City Parks that are fueled by charcoal, wood or any other solid fuels, even inside fire rings or above-ground barbecue grills. Park visitors are only allowed to cook with "container" equipment like Coleman grills or other propane stoves. The temporary ban is in an effort to minimize the risk of a wildfire in Lakeway’s parks and greenbelts and to ensure the safety of park patrons and residents.

City Wide Indoor Garage Sale - Saturday May7th from 9am-1pm. No admission fee - come look for a treasure!

From Steve Jones:

Traffic counters have been installed on Lakeway Dr. between Cross Creek and Star Drive to collect speed data. They will be there until Monday so we can get weekend data also. The counters will be moved to other locations to give us data around Lakeway.

560 feet of Lakeway Blvd. East of The Hills Dr. was repaved this week. A new process was used that enabled this to be done in hours instead of days.

Bee Cave will host two large events this Saturday - The Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce's Springfest and a Willie Nelson concert. Our police will be assisting with traffic control and Bee Cave is paying for the officers and patrol cars. You can find more info on Springfest here!

Per Paul Duncan: The Holiday Inn Express project is moving forward and site construction plans are close to approval - no start date is available. The site plan for Lakeway Airpark South is approvable once a Special Use Permit is acquired. The Highlands Village site development plans have been submitted.

Todd Radford reports that a piece of construction equipment stolen from Rough Hollow was recovered in Kimball County.


Travis County is considering a resolution supporting a ban on “floating habitable structures” on Lake Travis. County staff members believe that LCRA staff is preparing to recommend a ban on these projects, and they are looking for support from cities and counties. I asked the county to send me a copy of their resolution for our consideration. Floating habitable structures can include floating condominium complexes, hotels and restaurants. A developer has sought a permit for a residential project on Lake Travis. For more info click here.

Thanks for LOOKING!
