Travis County is coordinating relief efforts at Round Mountain Baptist Church for survivors of the July floods. Relief funding may run out as summer ends, and the county may consider a one-time property tax increase to provide additional assistance, with exemptions for some impacted residents. Transportation and Natural Resources crews are installing low water crossing signage at Cow and Sandy creeks and have purchased a temporary bridge for Sandy Creek. Cottonwood Trail is expected to be fully repaired by Sept. 1. Many repair sites require private-property access; Sunset Ranch granted permission for a temporary 70-foot steel bridge. The county removed about 107,000 yards of debris, and the LCRA has refused to collect some debris that extends into Lake Travis, creating jurisdictional confusion.
that will provide us the ability to move traffic, all kinds of vehicles, heavy equipment, passenger, everything, across that roadway,
in the event we have another disastrous rain event that compromises the low water crossing while the Big Sandy Bridge is also under repair.
