The Austin American Statesman and several national news websites just reported that Apple will be developing a 133-acre campus in North Austin in Williamson County. The campus is expected to accommodate 15,000 workers. This will be in addition to the 6,200 Apple employees already in Austin. These numbers will eventually make Apple the largest employer […]

Zoning and Development Update
First of all, a belated Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. We have much to be thankful for as a neighborhood. We have a wonderful subdivision that is relatively safe and well-located, has great neighbors and our homes have experienced very good appreciation. I do hope your taxes have not done so as much. It has been […]
Survey Markers Along Parmer Lane
If any of you have recently noticed the survey markers along Parmer Lane at our subdivision, they are there to help TXDOT determine the future expansion of Parmer Lane. I took this opportunity to call TXDOT to get an update from them. According to the gentleman I spoke with, TXDOT will most likely widen Parmer […]
Zoning and Development Update – July 2017
Neenah is still scheduled to be widened beginning in October of this year. Again, this is a ten-month process and, yes, it COULD be delayed again. I will update everyone on this as the start time gets nearer. The work on Pearson Ranch Road is now scheduled to finish in the fourth quarter of […]
Neenah/Parmer Lane Traffic Light timing
The traffic light at Neenah Avenue and Parmer Ln is too short in allowing traffic into and out of Davis Spring. In my experience, only three or four cars are allowed to pass out of and into our neighborhood during each light change. With our increased traffic, this is unacceptable. I checked the “Austin 311” […]

Mark Cissell, the Professional […]

This from Williamson County: Good morning Al and Happy New Year to you as well! We are still hung up in the City of Austin Review process. We see the light at the end of the tunnel and have two departments to get cleared before we can advertise. At the moment, we are hopeful for […]
Zoning and Development Update
I have two issues I wish to update the Davis Spring residents on in this letter. The latest update I have received from Mark Cissel, the P.E. for the company working with Williamson County in charge of the widening Neenah Avenue through Davis Spring, is that “the approval process is on-going with the City of […]
Proposed Austin Transportation Bond on November ballot
The $720 million transportation bond package proposed by the City of Austin Mayor and approved by the City Council (they are working on November ballot wording at this time) includes the widening of Parmer Lane from SH-45 to Brushy Creek Rd, with there being three lanes going each way. Yes, it will move Parmer Lane […]
Zoning and Development Update
Ok, I take back everything I have said about the Neenah extension. My bride and I are actually enjoying our extended walks through to Brushy Creek and Avery Ranch and, from with the number of residents we pass along the way at all hours, so are our residents. That may change when the schools reopen in September with the […]
