TRANSPORTATIONUPDATES Bee Cave discusses upcoming RM620 project with TxDOT

an environmental review and rights of way acquisition. The city has tentatively agreed to provide $5 million toward the project, in accordance with state code, which requires local participation of 10% of the rights of way acquisition and util- ity relocation costs. Currently, the city is only required to pay $2.5 million of the contribution with the remaining portion of the funding due later in the improvement process. Semora said the rights of way need to be bought early on. Of the $5 million the city has set aside for the project, $2.4 million will go toward rights of way purchases with the remaining funds deferred until construction begins. Semora said it is hard to say when
the state will fund the project, but that the state usually waits until the project is “shovel-ready.” “[RM] 620 is a high priority,” Semora said. “Everyone recognizes its need.” Semora said if the project continues on its current pathway, the city could see utility work begin in late 2023 or early 2024.
Bee Cave City Council held a discussion about the state of Texas road system and asked questions of a Texas Department of Transportation engineer at its Feb. 22 meeting. Council Member Andrea Willott requested the discussion, and South Travis Area Engineer William Semora Jr. was on hand to explain progress TxDOT has made toward a project to improve safety along RM 620 through Bee Cave and its neighbors. This project will install an advanced tra c-management system along RM 620 at its intersection at Hwy. 71 to its intersection with Anderson Mill Road at the Williamson County line. Semora said TXDOT is currently conducting preparation work such as

Traffic deaths increase in Austin year over year; Vision Zero’s work ongoing
In 2021, data showed a 26% increase in local tra c fatalities from 2020 and a nearly 32% from 2019, according to Austin Trans- portation Department representatives. There was a more than 23% increase in pedestrian tra c fatalities and more than double the number of motorcyclist tra c fatalities compared to 2020, according the data. ATD attributed the increase to a rise in tra c violations. “Humans make BY ZACHARIA WASHINGTON
mistakes, but those mistakes don’t have to be fatal,” ATD Transportation Safety O cer Lewis Le said. Through a strategy called Vision Zero, the city will continue using street improvements, policy changes and education to reduce deaths and injuries, Le said. Austin City Council adopted the plan in October 2015, and funding comes from the 2016 mobility bond, which allocated $15 million for Vision Zero.

strategies, Womack said. “People are using a lot of emotions when buying a house,”Womack said. “People get emotionally attached to a house because it’s pretty, not because it makes financial sense. Emotions will cause them to pay somuchmore.” Womack said buyers are pouring those emotions into their bids for a home, sharing their life stories, hoping the seller gets emotionally attached back to them. Additionally, buyers are now covering some expenses that typ- ically would be covered by the seller, such as offering free seller leasebacks. Over the past five

When Lakeway resident Katie Bigus and her husband started looking for a home near his job on Bee Caves Road, she said they were financially prepared and could be aggressive in their bidding process. Still, Bigus said, they lost out on their first choice after bidding about $98,000 over asking price with no contingencies and a leaseback to the sellers in the contract. This has become the status quo, said April Womack, a Realtor with Moreland Properties, who works out of its Lake Travis location. “It’s a really strange market,”

The lack of inventory has directly affected home prices in Lake Travis-Westlake and in the state. The median home price in Lake Travis-Westlake has risen steadily and far outpaces Travis County and state prices. Lake Travis-Westlake area Travis County Texas

would pay more to downsize. And if sellers are not willing to downsize or move out of the area to realize any profits, that leaves the market dry of any inventory. Active home sales listings in the Lake Travis-Westlake area have gone from an average of 124.8 active listings per year to 24.4 active listings per year from 2016-21, according to data from the Austin Board of Realtors. That accounts for an 80.45% decrease in available homes in the past six years. The shortage of homes on the market means the ones that do sell, sell fast. Lake Travis-Westlake has seen a 71.6% drop in the average days a house sits on the market, from 69.6 days in 2016 to 24.6 days in 2021. This lack of inventory with a surplus of buyers has led to a few creative
while a record amount of savings in buyer’s bank accounts has not slowed down bidding. He estimates Americans have saved almost four times more than usual during the pandemic and are now putting that cash down on homes. “If you are a seller, great, but you might need tomove down in size if staying in Austin,” he said. Womack said the best way to stay ahead of the game is to find a Realtor who is plugged into the market and can access the area’s Multiple Listing Service. “There is a lot going on in the private market outside of the MLS,” she said. “If you don’t pick a very plugged-in local agent, you will miss out on so much knowledge and activity that is happening under the table.”

As for Bigus, she and her husband finally found their home in Old Lakeway after their Realtor called them when a property that matched their wishlist popped up. This time they had pulled their
purchase price back by $50,000 to $100,000 knowing they would be going over the asking price significantly. “We ended up going about $75,000 over asking price, which is still insane,” she said.

City of Lakeway to build committee for LakewayAirpark zoning issue

nd the right group to solve this issue.” Problems arose in September when Lakeway Mayor Tom Kilgore received a report on ordinance violations dating back to 2016 from representatives of two airpark neighbors, according to a press release from the city. Following this, the city began to closely monitor the activities of the airpark and determined there were several violations of the Aviation Zoning District ordinance. The ordinance has undergone several changes since its introduction, with the most recent in 2010. In 2003, the ordinance prohibited commercial operations, including ight instruction, airplane rental and transportation of passengers. The 2010 amendment changed the language of the ordinance to rede ne commercial operations as “any business activity established to nancially pro t” from the provision of services or aircraft operations. The 2010 amendment caused confusion over what operations were permitted at the airpark, Torbett said in a statement posted to the airpark’s website in February. Since the airpark is a nonpro t corporation run
In response to controversy surrounding the operation of the Lakeway Airpark, the city of Lakeway in March will organize an Aviation Zoning District Committee consisting of seven members chosen by each council member through volunteer applications accepted through March 14. Decisions on committee members are expected to be made at the March 21 council meeting. The committee will meet to analyze issues related to public safety, airpark operation, devel- opment in and around the airpark zoning district, and other technical issues. The committee will make recommendations to council in response to proposed amendments to the district. “The airpark fully supports the idea of a col- laborative approach. Let’s focus on solving the problems,” Lakeway Airpark Inc. President Mike Torbett said at the Feb. 22 City Council meeting. “You have to have people that have complimentary personalities that can work together, and you need people that have experience, and I think we’ve got a wealth of that here in Lakeway, so surely we can

by members of the Flying Club, operations have continued at the park, including commercial air tra c, primary ight instruction and airplane rentals, according to the city. These operations are prohibited under the 2010 revision, and the “for pro t” stipulation included in the revision was a legal error to begin with as the exchange for goods and services is a commer- cial activity, regardless of whether it is for pro t, according to the city.

Eanes ISD unveiled its newly constructed aquatics center Feb. 24 following a decades long push for a school district pool. The facility began operation March 2, and the district plans to hold a grand opening of the facility March 26. Located on 23,000 square feet, the $10.3 million bond-funded facility houses a 518,000-gallon, temperature-controlled pool with several starting blocks, three diving boards and a bulkhead that allows a platform in the middle of the pool to move in order to accommodate di erent events or be used in di erent directions. The pool will be available for the Westlake High School swimming and diving program; a possible middle school expansion swim program; potential water polo and other activities; and community use for pool time, swim lessons and swim club rentals, according to a press release from the district. There also is a locker room with full showers and a water extractor for wet swimsuits, a public-use restroom and o ce in the building. The 25-meter, eight-lane stretch

At Feb. 22’s Bee Cave City Council meeting, Mayor Kara King opened the session with a proclamation that Feb. 23, 2022, would be Cecil Perkins Day. Perkins is an early citizen of Bee Cave and served as the city’s rst munici- pal judge from 1990-97. Perkins served in the military and later was a captain with the Austin Fire Department. He later served as a Realtor and was inducted into the Texas Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 2014 and owns Witch Doctor Farms. “The high point in this presenta- tion to me is to look out here and see ... the people who have developed the nest little city in Bee Cave, Texas,” Perkins said.
