When you’re a political hot potato …
Lakeway City Park will celebrate its 25th anniversary next month. But there was a time when the idea of a waterfront city park sparked fierce debates, a mini-fight, and the fear that it might end up as another Hippie Hollow, a local nude beach on Lake Travis. The 64-acre property had an original asking price of $677,000, but the owner accepted the city’s offer of $375,000. Lakeway City Park officially opened April 9, 1994.
When you get another way out …
A traffic study for Route F — an emergency evacuation route in Steiner Ranch — is underway. On March 4th, a majority of the SRMA Board concluded that Travis County’s recommendation for Route F is the optimal decision and voted for its implementation. Travis County will conduct an open house with the Steiner Ranch community in April.
When you’re waiting for a sign…
If you’re a business owner in the Lake Travis area, this might be shocking news, because let’s face it, signage is not easy in the bubble. But it’s getting better. Bee Cave City Council loosened its oh-so-tight grip on sign restrictions at the Galleria. No way! Yes, way.
When you like shopping in parking lots …
Get your duck eggs. Did you know Austin’s longest-running farmers market opened in 1987? It started in the original Whole Foods parking lot and is still flourishing today at Barton Creek Mall. Here’s a guide to the local farmers’ market including a few in the Lake Travis area.
