A Big Congrats and Shout Out to Lakeway Parks and Recreation Department for another great community event. Shark pool party was a big hit with the kids. These fun activities are a big part of maintaining Lakeway’s character and charm. Thanks to Councilman O’Brien and City Manager Molis for joining the fun.

It’s Bridge Day for Main Street! We witnessed setting the first beam at 1:30 this afternoon. Each beam is concrete. They are 124.5 feet long and 5 feet tall. The bridge span is 125 feet which leaves a 3 inch tolerance for the crane operators. The beams weigh 61,000 tons. There are a total of 9 beams going into the bridge foundation.

Getting Main Street completed is the goal of the last several councils, it’s good to see the progress being achieved.

Lakeway Voters, please exercise your right to Vote!!

Our city has not had a contested election for the last two years. So many of us have lost interest in local elections. Lakeway is a part of the Lake Travis Independent School District. LTISD is the largest tax collector on our property tax bill. Lakeway residents have a vested interest in the election of School Board Trustees.

There is an ongoing election for the LTISD Board. Please go vote!

It was a busy Saturday morning here in Lakeway! I started my day at the Wilderness Run organized by The Friends of the Park and supported by our Parks and Recreation Department. It was wonderful to see so many athletes and families out for the run. It’s always great to be able to award the medals to the top finishers. We recognized a talented 6 year old who completed the 5km race.

After the race, I headed to the Lakeway Activity Center for the spring kickoff. I stopped and examined our newest Police Vehicle. There were a lot of happy children and families in the Activity Center. The petting zoo is always a favorite.

Finally, I visited the Liebelt cabin which was open for the community to visit.

Thanks to everyone who made today possible.
