Conservation And Preservation Are Being Ignored

The management of all four cities are ignoring what makes this area unique and beautiful.  Do they not care what sort of life they may be robbing from your children and grandchildren?  Stripping land, disturbing habitats, destroying neighborhoods and wasting precious water seem to be their goals.

San Antonio only uses 140 gallons per capita per day.  Austin uses 185 gallons.  Cedar Park pours Lake Travis on its heavily planted medians and golf courses.  Why can’t Austin, Cedar Park, Leander and Round Rock match San Antonio in water conservation?   LCRA is making it too easy to drain Lake Travis by selling cheap water.

Since Lance Armstrong trained in the hills of Volente and the curves of Lime Creek Road, cyclists and bikers have called the area their training ground.  Cedar Park, Leander and Round Rock will destroy this area.  Their huge land clearing trench for their enormous pipeline will remove trees and destroy vegetation leaving a dirty dust bowl where no one wants to breathe.  They could tunnel, leaving the scenery in place, but that costs money.  Cheap is better?
