A crew is transforming lots on the shoreline of Lake Marble Falls, ushering in millions of dollars of citywide parks improvements.
Adjacent to Lakeside Park off Yett Street on Buena Vista Drive, crews have cleared and prepped property owned by Marble Falls Economic Development Corporation (EDC) for a water fall feature, extended concrete walkways, stairs and a pedestrian bridge.
The week of March 3 workers Myers Concrete Construction poured forms and took delivery of the pedestrian bridge to prep for installation.
Dale Wood of Myers Concrete Construction was at the site March 7 and directed the work for the foundation for a new pedestrian bridge.
The workers will also connect parts of the concrete walkway in the adjacent Lakeside Park to the EDC project.
Approximately $4.2 million in EDC funds will be used to enhance architecture, fences, irrigation, pavements, planting, landscape, pedestrian walkways and utilities as well as the pedestrian bridge and waterfall feature. Funds will come from at least $8 million in bonds issued in 2021.
Officials say, now missing from the project was a previously planned boardwalk from the shoreline to an abandoned powerhouse partially submerged in the lake at the foot of Chili’s.
