Lake Travis at a Glance: Eyes on Hotels, Schlotzsky’s on its Way & Hands Off Cellphones

Written by Cathy Hale | September 7, 2017

The development along RR 620 is impossible to ignore. In the 3-mile stretch along RR 620 from Hwy. 71 to Oaks at Lakeway, you’ll see multiple commercial projects spanning the phases of construction from clearing land to framing to punch list.

Back in January 2015, we wrote about all of the new hotels headed to the Lake Travis area. At that time, the Sonesta Hotel was still under construction. We mentioned more hotels on the way including a La Quinta and a Marriott, both rumored to be at Lakeway Medical Village (322 Medical Parkway). Well, that’s still 50% accurate …

Today we’re taking a look at businesses headed this way including Marriott, La Quinta, and the new Schlotzsky’s special concept restaurant, Schlotzsky’s Austin Eatery.

Plus, the statewide texting while driving ban is in effect. Put. That. Phone. Down.

Voting in the Lake Travis Area on May 6: General Elections & Special Elections

Written by Cathy Hale | May 3, 2017

If you haven’t noticed, Central Texas roadways are peppered with campaign signs — both professionally printed and hand-scrawled. That’s because it’s election time.

On Saturday, May 6, residents who haven’t participated in early voting in the Lake Travis area are headed to the polls. Voting will take place for City of Bee Cave, City of Lakeway, Dripping Springs, Llano, as well as many other municipalities.

Unlike many elections that roll gently through the Texas hillside, this one is causing quite a stir.

Last week, an article in the Bee Cave Bee about LTYA sparked a hot debate on Facebook. In addition to lively debates over City Council members, there are special election items that have been creating a buzz in Lakeway and Llano.

To prepare you for the big day, we’re giving you a snapshot of the May 6, 2017 Joint General and Special Elections ballot, so you know exactly what’s what.
