Bee Cave and TxDOT to upgrade intersection Bee Cave City Council voted in favor of a resolution to create a partnership between the city and the Texas Department of Transportation for intersection improvements at Hwy. 71 and Hamilton Pool Road at a Jan. 9 meeting. The gist The resolution allows the city to partner with TxDOT for costly upgrades that the city would not be able to afford otherwise, according to a news release. The partnership will allow the Bee Cave Eco- nomic Development Corporation to pay for the design of the intersection upgrades, while TxDOT will fund the construction. Improvements at the intersection will be a huge benefit to residents and help to alleviate traffic issues, city leaders said.

Lakeway rezones for new development Lakeway City Council approved the rezoning of approximately 14.87 acres of land located at 18214 Hwy. 71 W. for a new planned unit development, or PUD, at a Dec. 18 meeting. The gist The acreage was rezoned from an office and retail development to a PUD for the Bee Creek Gear Shift development, which will be at the intersection of Hwy. 71 and Bee Creek Road, according to city documents. The plans for the development include 100 luxury car condominiums, 10,000 square feet of medical office spaces and a Walgreens with a drive-thru pharmacy, said Erin Carr, director of building and develop- ment services.

Quote of note “We have a strong relationship with TxDOT and have been able to work with them to give us relief at this major intersection,” Mayor Kara King said. “These improvements could cost as much as $15 million, and to have TxDOT take on this expense is an incredible win for our residents.” What else? Construction will take an estimated five years to complete, according to TxDOT and planning consultants.
