Today Council Member Jean Hennagin, Doris Cline, Julie Oakley and I toured the Balcones Resources Recycling facility. We all learned a lot about recycling and I plan to share it with you at a future date. I was amazed at the speed at which some of the items were sorted - it was an interesting tour!The Flint Rock Road contractor has completed one side of the new road and will transition traffic to the new side next week. It will still be a construction zone and work will be continuing - it is scheduled to be complete about March or April. We are looking at annexing that area in the near future - when this is done, Lakeway Police will be able to patrol the road.
