Hero Way & Main

When is this interntersection getting a light?

I can see it from my apartment and working remote, I see AT LEAST 1 wreck a week, if not more.

With the new retail spots opening and soon to be Crunch and a massive new apartment complex, the traffic volume is only going to get worse. I am never one for stacking lights up and down roads but that intersection is crazy.

PSA reminder: Crosswalks

I've lived in Leander over 20 years, and so many accidents at intersections.

This just a PSA to avoid using crosswalks if you can. Cars get a green light for turns while pedestrians have cross walk.

I've been honked at, flipped off, cursed at and almost killed dozens of times, just trying to cross the road at an intersection.

You won't win the contest against a car or truck.

Squirrels are going crazy on pumpkins

So we've had an issue with the squirrels stealing our mini pumpkins at the patch this year. I'd be super open to anyone that knows who we might combat them. Maybe putting out some other food for them?

Leander City Council approves updates to city fees, offers fee waivers for homeowners affected by ASR

Hi all! This is Hamera from Community Impact. I wanted to share a quick story about some changes to city fees.

One notable change is that the city will now offer fee waivers for those seeking to apply to demolish their pool if it's been affected by alkali-silica reaction, or "concrete cancer." Those who have already demolished a pool affected by ASR can apply for reimbursement for the permit fees.

ASR affected many pools built between 2017-2023, including at least 28 in Leander. City leaders said during the city council meeting that they also spoke with state lawmakers that tried to address the issue during the last legislative session.

City staff reviewed municipal fees during the city's budget adoption process. Other changes include:

  • Charging drivers who illegally pass school buses $25, regardless of whether the offense happens in a school zone or not
  • Increasing jury duty pay from $6 to $10 per day
  • Streamlining fire department fees
