HORSESHOE BAY — City officials approved $25,000 this week for a program to remove cedar, which they say poses fire dangers and chokes oak trees in Horseshoe Bay West.
The money will come from the $250,000 contingency fun, city leaders said during a City Council meeting May 15.
HORSESHOE BAY — After two years of starts and stops, the Bay West Boulevard Bridge reopened May 15 on schedule and under budget, officials said.
The $658,000 span will cut travel time and make a flood-prone area safer for traffic, city leaders said during an early morning ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Ross Construction and Voltaire Construction and Remodeling built the bridge in four months, debuting it on time, officials said.
