Improvement Projects Updates
Last Updated on September 28, 2026
Lake Pointe Boat Dock Project
Primary construction of the Boat Day Dock is substantially complete, with final cleanup and punch-list work remaining. Construction of the separate two-level swim dock continues, with steel piers, first-level deck supports, and upper-level posts installed. The contractor continues to target October 1 for substantial completion; this is a construction milestone, not a public opening date.
While the scheduled drawdown for Lake Austin, originally set to run from October 12 through November 30, 2026, has been canceled, both docks will remain closed until completion of the remaining work, required inspections and approvals, safe conditions, and Board authorization. A specific opening date has not been established.
Finishing design is being evaluated but looks to feature solar powered lights and ceiling fans. The trapeze design is being evaluated for safety and may be added to the dock in a later project. A launch platform and gate on the upper deck remain in the design.
The District also plans to seek proposals for longer-term improvements to the trail leading to the docks, rather than proceeding with the temporary improvements previously considered. This work is separate from the current dock construction contract and remains in the planning stage. The waterfront construction area remains off-limits to residents until officially opened.

Vista Pointe Park Improvement Project
Construction continues at Vista Pointe Park. Concrete work has progressed for the restroom, benches, tables, and light posts, and initial utility connections for the restroom are in place. The park remains closed to the public during construction.
The Board approved a revision that reduces the need for extensive trenching near mature oak trees and is intended to reduce the risk of damage to their roots. The Board also approved replacement of two sidewalk sections adjacent to the outdoor kitchen to eliminate uneven transitions between the existing sidewalk and new construction.
The District's engineer is developing a landscaping plan for the area affected by storm-damaged cedar trees. The proposed work would address damaged-tree removal and restoration of the surrounding area; final designs and costs remain under review.
Planning also continues for a storage tank and utility connection that would allow park irrigation to use raw water instead of potable water. KFM is coordinating with the West Travis County Public Utility Agency on the connection, tank location, and storage requirements. These details have not yet been finalized.
Lake Pointe Wall, Entrances, and Monuments Project
This project is currently ON-HOLD awaiting conveyance proceedings from the Lake Pointe HOA.
We have formally requested the conveyance of the existing fences, footer wall, and remaining monuments from the LPHOA, and attorneys are currently awaiting authorization from the LPHOA board before finalizing the details. The LPMUD Board must delay major design expenditures until these discussions conclude and conveyance is imminent. To facilitate progress, the LPMUD has proposed forming a joint committee with the LPHOA to provide high-level feedback on wall and monument design elements. A letter of intent regarding this committee has been delivered to the LPHOA, and the District is currently awaiting their feedback and execution.
Updated survey work for the neighborhood wall replacement is complete, and the engineer is prepared to proceed with full design and permitting once property conveyance is underway.
The district’s engineer and landscape architect have prepared concept designs for new entry monuments that comply with City of Bee Cave and Travis County sign ordinances for each of the Lake Pointe entrances.
Vehicle Gate Replacement and Pedestrian Preserve Access
Construction of the replacement vehicle gate has been approved but has not started. Structural steel remains subject to an approximately 10-week lead time, and pedestrian-access designs are still being developed.
Separate pedestrian routes into the preserve are being considered near the vehicle gate and behind the pavilion. These routes are intended to reduce the need for pedestrians to operate the vehicle gate. Final layouts and construction arrangements remain under review, and the existing gate will remain in place until the replacement gate and necessary pedestrian access are ready.
Lake Pointe Pedestrian Trailhead Parking Area
The trailhead parking area is complete and open. Heavy August rains revealed additional surface erosion, and the District is evaluating targeted improvements to better manage runoff. Options include regrading and adding concrete or asphalt in selected areas. A final corrective approach has not yet been selected.
Lake Road Drainage Improvements
The drainage improvement project has completed and is awaiting final inspection.
Bond Application and Issuance
At its September meeting, the Board approved KFM's revised preliminary engineering report for bond issuance, completing another preparatory step in the financing process. The timing of a bond sale remains under review and is tied to progress on the wall project. Approval of the engineering report does not itself constitute issuance of bonds.
