🌵 Egg-citement awaits at Lakeway’s EGGStravaganza!

The live oak pollen is everywhere right now.

Your car. Your driveway. Your lungs. That yellow-green dust settles on everything and just… stays. The only people genuinely thrilled about it are the ones running car washes. Good week to be in that business.

But here's what's coming next, and I say this as a warning: the worms.

You know the ones. They drop on little silk threads from the live oaks and hang there, invisible, at exactly shoulder height. You walk under a tree, feel nothing, go about your day. Then it's 3pm, you're in a meeting with your boss, and something moves on your shoulder.

Not great.

Spring in Austin is a full sensory experience. Some of it smells like grape bubble gum (mountain laurels). Some of it looks like someone dumped a bag of powdered lemonade on everything (live oaks). And some of it is just a worm on your shirt.

Wouldn't trade it.

Cheers,
Nolan

The Gist: Lakeway City Council approved updates to the 2025 Comprehensive Plan, reflecting community input from over 2,000 residents. Changes include a new “dynamic core” along RM 620 and Hwy. 71, mixed-use “centers,” and transportation improvements like trails and road plans. Projects like Serene Hills Drive improvements are included but still require engineering studies and formal approvals.

Why It Matters: The plan helps guide how Lakeway grows, balancing development with local character. Lakeway’s thoughtful planning shows a strong focus on community needs and livable growth.
