West Lake Hills passed a bond to improve its roads and build a new City Hall in November 2021. Since the bond was approved last year, the city has made progress.

In Proposition A, $13.2 million was allocated to build a new City Hall. It will house the police department, administrative offices and council chambers. Proposition B detailed $11.8 million to provide funding to construct roadway repairs and improve drainage to Camp Craft Road, Redbud Trail, Westlake Drive, Laurel Valley Road, Yaupon Valley Road and Terrace Mountain Drive.

City Administrator Trey Fletcher said the city has progressed into the design development phase of Proposition A. This means projects are about 60% complete. Land has been acquired to build the City Hall at 4010 Bee Caves Road, and once the design development stage is completed, the projects will progress to the construction documents phase. The construction and demolition of the old City Hall is assumed to take place in spring 2024 with completion anticipated in May 2025.

Proposition B has also been moving forward. The city is in the process of getting permits for the construction and beginning to get easements with the drainage. There will be another bid later in the summer or early fall. Construction on Camp Craft and Eanes Creek won’t start until mid-2025, Fletcher said.
