The date for the Lakewood communitywide spring garage sale is Saturday, April 25. Here’s how it works: Lakewood residents hold their own garage sales at their homes, from 8 a.m. to noon. If you’re having a garage sale at your house, sign up on this Google form. You don’t need to give your name. The HOA will provide a list of addresses where sales are held as the date nears.  

Last year the HOA board developed a regular schedule for spring and fall sales: the fourth Saturday in April for the spring sale and the first weekend in October for fall.

Lakewood and Jester Estates residents can learn about wildfire preparedness and evacuation planning at a presentation scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. April 1 at St. Thomas More Catholic Church at 10205 N. FM 620. The meeting is designed to support informed decisions, personal preparedness and neighborhood coordination. Other topics will include evacuation planning, emergency alerting and other resources. Representatives of local emergency service departments will review the city’s all-hazards protective action plan at the meeting. Lakewood is a participating site in Firewise USA, a nationwide designation for communities working to reduce wildfire risks

Election Day is today in Texas for the primary races for federal and state office. The Lakewood Clubhouse is again a polling place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The HOA will seal coat four Lakewood streets starting March 2. Gardenridge Hollow and Dogwood Hollow will be sealed Monday, March 2, and Winecup Hollow and Turkey Hollow will follow on Tuesday, March 3.

Vehicles must be off the street by 8:30 a.m., and any vehicles NOT removed for the seal coating will be towed. You may park on the city streets, which are Wallace Drive, Lakewood Drive or Waldon Drive.

Expect to have no access to your street for 24 hours. The paving must cool overnight to cure. You may drive on it once barricades are removed.

Signs announcing the work went up last week, and this letter was mailed to residents of the four streets.

The project had been scheduled to start in December but was delayed because of weather.

6 p.m. April 14 at Clubhouse

Council Member Marc Duchen will visit Lakewood from 6 to 7:30 p.m. April 14 at the Lakewood Clubhouse to hear your questions about policy issues, neighborhood concerns and Austin’s future.
