Marble Falls city staff unveiled a timeline Sept. 17 for the completion of the remaining parks phase 1A projects underway – part of a multi-million dollar parks improvement program.

Either completed or remaining work involves the Hays Addition/Lakeshore Drive boat ramp, the Johnson Park boat ramp and Lakeside Park landscaping and electrical work, restroom and sidewalk work and Lakeside Pavilion parking and street upgrades.

“That went well,” City Manager Mike Hodge said. “There are already several areas we're beginning to utilize.”

“Both of the boat ramps are open at Hays and Johnson Park,” he said. Remaining work in those venues includes landscaping and irrigation systems. . . .
