We have lots of ups and downs on the roads in Lakeway - the street department will be on call in case sand is needed on some of the roads - best thing to do is stay home!
The next "We Are Blood" drive will be January 20th from 8 until noon at the Activity Center - roll up those sleeves and donate the gift of life!
If your looking for some fun things for your kids next week, here's a link to what's available at the Activity Center - looks like some fun stuff!
The Brown Bag Luncheon series begins Thursday, Jan 4, with the Mady Kaye Quartet. It's free and worth the effort!
Enrollment is going on for the 2018 Lakeway Citizens Academy - applications are available at the police department or online at this link.
There were a lot of great accomplishments this year including the completion of Flint Rock Road, the Bee Creek Sports Complex has moved forward and design should begin soon, the bond passed for a Police Station and our bond rating and timing allowed us to save millions on that project, we are also assured that the project will come in Under Budget and On Time. We also completed Lakeway Blvd. median improvements which included replacing an aging sprinkler system and new grass, Hamilton Greenbelt got a restroom and parking lot, Canyonlands and Dragon Park got new restrooms, and we were able to fund improvements to the median at Flint Rock and 620 to allow 2 left turn lanes.
For 2018 we are co-sponsoring an application with TxDOT to identify federal funding for lane additions on 620 from 71 to about Debba. We have money in the budget to update the comprehensive plan and are looking at Charter amendments that will be on the May ballot.
The city is investigating the cost of the property owned by Stratus for possible acquisition. There will be a lot of discussion about this if it is found to be feasible.
I expect to see more on the MUD property that is under contract to HSD.
Sounds like a busy year!
