Rollingwood City Council members OK next step in bike lane project<\/a><\/h2>\n

\nRollingwood\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bike lane project moved closer to a start date with recent City Council action instructing the staff to initiate an agreement with neighboring West Lake Hills.
\nThe agreement with West Lake Hills is necessary since one of Rollingwood\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s main streets scheduled for bike lane striping serves as the border between the two cities.
\nRollingwood Mayor Thom Farrell said he thinks West Lake Hills and its residents in the Ridgewood area \u00e2\u20ac\u0153would love to have the bike lanes extended to that area, but there is the possibility that there may be objections.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nPreliminary plans for the project got started …<\/p>\n

\nOn my first full day on the island, I didn’t quite know what I would do. Really all I wanted to do the first morning was sleep but the Sun’s rays cooking me in the tent got me moving. Tired, and hungry I packed up my stuff and got out of the campground. I had previously considered paying multiple nights at the campground, but I didn’t feel comfortable leaving stuff out in the open all day if I didn’t have to. It was easy enough to pack and take it all with me. I also wanted to camp on the gulf side of the island, on the real beach. The bay side isn’t quite the same.
