Lakeway will work with engi- neering company Walter P. Moore to review 13 transportation projects recognized by the city as needing improvement, including roadways, drainage, sidewalks and trac signals. Working with an engineer to develop plans for improvement will prepare the city for a potential transportation bond election in the future, according to the city. The earliest a bond election could be called is this November if aggressive action is taken now, but the next possible election would be in May 2023, Mayor Tom Kilgore said. “With regard to our roadways, drainage [and] sidewalks, we know that we’re in a place that we have aging infrastructure, and much of this infrastructure is in need of improvement now,” Lakeway City Manager Julie Oakley said. The 13 projects include mill and overlays, culvert replacements, trac signals, pedestrian transpor- tation connectivity, road widening and road extensions. The city can be reimbursed for the engineering proposal fee of $191,380 upon the passage of a bond in the future, according to the city.

According to the TxDOT website, this series of projects aims to add additional capacity to the congested roadway and reduce travel times through the corridor. TxDOT held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in October marking the completion of the RM 2222 widening project. Additionally, the south- bound lane of the new bypass road from RM 2222 to RM 620 is sched- uled to open in April, after the north- bound lane opened in summer 2021, according to a TxDOT spokesperson.

The Texas Department of Trans- portation closed the right-turn lane from westbound RM 2222 to north- bound RM 620 in January as part of its ongoing project in the area. The agency expects the right-turn lane to be closed for several months until early spring. Throughout the closure, two west- bound lanes on RM 2222 will remain open. According to the release, one lane will be a dedicated left-turn lane onto southbound RM 620, while the other will allow drivers to turn left, continue straight or turn right. The closure will allow TxDOT to

Another reason for the request not to connect the road with Bow Cross Point was that it would become a collector road, bringing unnecessary trac through residential streets, Legacy Director of Development Paul Shepherd said. The developer oered to pay its proportionate share of around $160,000 for the road’s construction and set aside a 100-foot right of way for future development by the city. This amendment was denied by council in November, prompting the developers to return in January with another request to revise the amendment. The new amendment requires notication of the public and two public hearings at council meetings before it can be approved. Gary Taylor, The Serene Hills Housing

Legacy DCS submitted its second request to amend its development agreement with the city for Eastside Landing to no longer require it to build a connection to Flint Rock Road. The development agreement was approved by Lakeway City Council for single-family residential R-1 and R-3 zoning in June and was annexed into the city in November. Following the property’s annexation into the city, the developer requested an amendment to the agreement in November to remove a requirement to pay for and construct the portion of connecting road within the develop- ment. The developer cited complex topography and unfeasible construc- tion as the reason for amending the agreement, which would require a substantial build-up of the terrain to

Association president, voiced his support for using Serene Hills Drive as a point of entry for construction vehicles throughout the project. “I think especially with the Serene Hills HOA warming to this plan as it’s presented, if you’re talking about a 20% grade on this temporary construction entrance that’s o Flint Rock, I would rather just see that not be in existence at all,” Council Member Gretchen Vance said. “It’s just an acci- dent waiting to happen. But, I do agree

none of that trac should come across the existing Bow Cross and disturb the residents of Serene Hills.” This land is important to the city because it contains the site for a future extension of Flint Rock to Bee Creek Road that would alleviate trac in the area, Assistant City Manager Joseph Molis said. The orig- inal agreement was approved with a stipulation requiring the developers to build the portion of Flint Rock that goes through their development.

ENVIRONMENT Board raises price of water for LCRA irrigation customers

RAISING Water costs for Lakeside, Gulf Coast and Garwood divisions rose following the Jan. 19 LCRA meeting. PRICE OF WATER PER ACRE FOOT RATES

BY GRACE DICKENS

created in 1989 and has been updated periodically since then with the latest update in 2020. This plan governs the use of water from the Highland Lakes and establishes a variety of safeguards for rmwater users, including what thresholds would require interruptible customers to be cut o, Hofmann said. Another concern raised by public comment was the rates were not high enough to discourage waste among interruptible customers, which could threaten the shrinking amount of water available in the growing region. Before 2011, the average use per acre in the rst season in the Gulf Coast division was 3.3-4.4 acre feet per acre. From 2018-21, that average has dropped to between 1.9-3.1 acre feet per acre, which indicates a much lower use per acre than what has been seen historically, Hofmann said. “We know better than anybody about the population growth that’s occurring in our area …that’s one of the reasons why we’ve worked so hard to try and develop these long-termwater supplies,” Hofmann said. “The water management plan’s sole purpose is to make sure that the provision of interruptible stored water does not imperil the rm supplies that we have.”

LAKESIDEGULF COAST

GARWOOD

The Lower Colorado River Author- ity board of directors voted Jan. 19 to increase the cost of water for interruptible agricultural service customers. This change caused a 5% increase for the Lakeside and Gulf Coast service area contract holders, raising the rate from $66.14 per acre-foot delivered to $69.44. Rates also were increased for interruptible contracts in Garwood, going from $38.32 to $39.19 or from $45.42 to $46.46 depending on the location within the service area. The LCRA acts as a public utility by providing electricity and water to rm and interruptible customers. Firm customers are cities, businesses and industries that require reliable long-termwater supplies available regardless of drought conditions. Interruptible contracts are agricul- ture customers that may have their water supply shut o during drought President of Water John Hofmann presented the board with about 150 responses received through LCRA’s online portal and other means during the public comment period, which ran from Dec. 16-Jan. 7. The majority of comments addressed similar con- cerns about rates being too low and encouraging waste downstream, the use of the Agriculture Reserve Fund to stie rate shock and a dispropor- tionate impact on rm customers as a result of lower prices for interruptible customers, Hofmann said. “The concerns of people that expressed those were sincere con- cerns; they’re driven by concern for our region,” Hofmann said. “Those concerns are being expressed out of the information they are getting, and the information happens to be bad.” The LCRA manages the Colorado River through a system of six dams, which create six reservoirs stretching from 80 miles northeast of Austin through Central Austin.
