Bee Cave City Council awarded the bid for the Bee Cave Parkway Pavement Improvements project to Texas Materials Group for $1.39 million on April 28.

The improvements will occur on Bee Cave Parkway between RM 620 and Hwy. 71.

The overview: Bee Cave Parkway was initially constructed in 2011, making it 15 years old. Asphalt roadways typically have a 20-to-30-year lifecycle before needing a full-depth reconstruction. The pavement improvement project will include a 2-inch mill and a 2 1/4-inch overlay on the road along with new striping and new signage.

The issue: The company provided an almost complete review of the qualifications within the requested time frame; however, the requirement to list all claims and litigation that have been active over the past five years was missing. This prompted concern from another bidder involved in the project, as well as council member Andrea Willott.

What’s next: Construction is expected to take five to six weeks to complete and will occur during school summer break.
 

Camp Mystic, the Texas Hill Country camp where 28 people died in catastrophic flooding last summer, announced April 30 that it will not welcome campers this summer.

The background: The decision comes nearly 10 months after 25 young campers, two teenage counselors and the camp’s executive director, Dick Eastland, died as the Guadalupe River camp flooded July 4. Camp Mystic’s owners had planned to open a secondary campsite called Cypress Lake in late May, but backed down at the urging of flood victims’ families and state lawmakers.

What's happening: A spokesperson for the Department of State Health Services, which licenses youth camps, confirmed to Community Impact that Camp Mystic had withdrawn its application to operate in summer 2026. 

In a statement, Camp Mystic officials said they did not want to “unintentionally effect further harm” on flood victims and their families.

"We also recognize that over 800 girls want to return to Camp Mystic Cypress Lake this summer," they wrote. "Our special bond with our Camp Mystic families does not change or end with the announcement."
