Proposition B
What’s next?
Bond projects
Other street work not completed under Proposition B, such as improvements to Terrace Mountain Drive, will likely be funded by the city’s street and maintenance tax, which comes from a portion of city sales tax. City voters last approved the collection in 2021 and will once again be asked to vote on it in November. A public use policy for City Hall is also currently being worked on by City Council, potentially allowing community groups to use the space as a venue for events. Following the opening of Camp Craft Road, Vaughan also noted that some residents have complained about signal timing near its intersection with Bee Caves Road. “Improvements to that intersection and its signaling are in the works,” Vaughan said, adding that the city is coordinating with the Texas Department of Transportation on the issue.
Proposition B completed a variety of milling, paving, grading and drainage work on these five city road projects.

With the city having reached most of its land development capacity, many city projects going forward will be focused on redevelopment, address- ing issues like parking, wastewater and ownership transfers, Mayor James Vaughan said. The city has held discussions with Austin Water to prepare for the potential construction of a MoPac interceptor and Thousand Oaks interceptor—part of Austin’s larger Barton Creek interceptor project. These inter- ceptors, or sewer lines, would provide improved service to areas west of MoPac, potentially impact- ing some of West Lake Hills’ future development.
