Rollingwood’s 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.
The agreement with West Lake Hills is necessary since one of Rollingwood’s main streets scheduled for bike lane striping serves as the border between the two cities.
