Lake Travis Roadwork: What You Get For $11 Million Dollars

Written by Cathy Hale | August 31, 2016

Remember when the words “elevated highway” made everyone put down their chai lattes and take notice?

Back in February, we had a little bit of fun breaking down the TxDOT Feasibility Study. Ah, those were the days!

We highlighted some obvious traffic woes that exist on 620 like the “failing” intersections that are ill-equipped to handle growth in the next 20 years.

We explored the dangerous nature of accidents on 620 and explained why hooded left turns may indeed be the solution. Yes, hooded left turns are a real thing.

The final point was that no funding is available for the proposed changes.

There is money for the current transportation projects you may be observing on and around 620 right now.

What’s happening on Lake Travis area roadways? How much is being spent? And who’s paying for it?

13 Places To Eat at the Oaks at Lakeway

Written by Todd Hower | August 4, 2016

With the completion of H-E-B at one end and High 5 on the other, construction of the spaces in between that will fill out the middle section of the Oaks at Lakeway has been rolling along as the peak of a Lake Travis summer is upon us.

13 new places for food and treats have grabbed up space and are ready (or getting ready) for you to discover at the Oaks at Lakeway. Several places opened up this summer. Others are dealing with construction delays. Several have “coming soon” signs in the window. So you can’t try out all 13 places just yet.

A New Name and More for the Lakeway Regional Medical Center

Written by Cathy Hale | July 14, 2016

Lakeway is making headlines for a recent acquisition that Lake Travis residents should be excited about.

Baylor Scott & White Health, which currently operates nearly 50 hospitals in Texas, signed an agreement to purchase Lakeway Regional Medical Center (LRMC). If all goes well, expectations are that LRMC will be renamed Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Lakeway by the end of the summer.

The new name isn’t short and sweet — BSWMCL?! What a mouthful! — but the transition is a step in the right direction.

A big and well-respected name like Baylor Scott & White attracts (and retains) more collaboration with Central Texas providers, which means a stronger offering of medical services (from trauma to specialty), physicians, surgeons, staff as well as improved medical resources.

Lost dog? Electrician? Piano lessons? Connecting with Your Lake Travis Neighbors

Written by Cathy Hale | June 30, 2016

Do you need a handy man who can hang that heavy mirror over the sofa in your living room?

Did a cute kitty wander up to your front door without a collar?

Did you just buy a new home with a pond and you’re wondering how to maintain it?

Did you spot a bobcat or mountain lion in your yard?

Is your sprinkler system on the fritz?

Every so often we need to exchange information with our neighbors because they “get it” — they live here too.

Although it seems like a nifty idea, you can’t really roam the neighborhood with a megaphone shouting, “I need a reliable plumber!” or “I just saw a snake! Who can tell me that quote about ‘red touch yellow, kill a fellow?!?'”

This is when social media networks and Facebook groups for neighborhoods come in handy.
