Butler Rough Hollow Park plan
In December, a revised plan for Butler Rough Hollow Park was presented to City Council. Since then, staff have worked to resolve issues related to parking, bike park and ninja course features and shade structures as well as anticipated increases in labor costs, according to city documents.
Following this work, a new final design for the park will be presented at the city’s July 21 meeting, as well as an opinion of probable construction costs, or OPCC.

Updates will be shared at the council meeting regarding the city’s 2024 Parks Bond and associated park projects, which include:
- Lakeway City Park

- Butler/Rough Hollow Park
- Lakeway Activity Center

Several requests for use of hotel occupancy tax funds will be put forward at the council meeting, including those made by Lake Travis Youth Association for $60,000, La Quinta Inn & Suites for $26,000, and Springhill Suites for $30,000.
Square at Lohmans
Developers of the Square at Lohmans, a project included in the City Center development, are requesting amendments to their planned unit development to change building setbacks as well as certain parking locations. Additionally, developers will ask to set the completion date for extensions of Main Street and Lohmans Spur to June 30, 2026.
The Lakeway Zoning and Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendments at their July 2 meeting.
Fiscal year 2025-2026 budget
Lakeway City Manager Joseph Molis will provide council and staff with a presentation on the city’s fiscal year 2025-2026 budget, welcoming citizen participation and council discussion. Further details on the budget will be provided at the July 21 meeting.
Intelligent infrastructure
Council member Kent O’Brien will share a report on "intelligent infrastructure" in Lakeway, designed to improve community connectivity and technology, according to city documents.
Improvements suggested include a fiber-optic network and a Public Infrastructure Network Node, or PINN system, which would enable low-power, distributed cellular and Wi-Fi service, according to city documents.
The suggested improvements are designed to fulfill goals of Lakeway’s comprehensive plan.
