RM-12 in transition

Submitted by Wimberley1 on

By Will Conley
Hays County Commissioner

This week, construction work on RM 12 between Wimberley and San Marcos will gear up again. This time the safety improvements will basically go from the Junction to Hugo Rd. These improvements should make driving a little easier on RM 12 and, more importantly, safer. This work is the continuation of many projects that were identified as far back as 2006 in order to make this dangerous stretch of roadway safer. Since that time, Hays County and TXDOT have put together eight different partnerships to improve this stretch of RM 12.

By Greg Bonewald
WHS Principal

In 2013, the Texas legislature passed “House Bill 5” (HB 5), which established new regulations impacting graduation requirements, including changes to graduation plans and STAAR (State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness) End-of-Course exams.   Wimberley ISD’s current 8th graders have choices to make as a result of this new law as they work with school counselors and their parents to design personal four-year graduation plans.

Moments are made through others help: ‘Thank you’ letter from the Editor

Submitted by Wimberley1 on
By Dalton Sweat
 
There are many moments in life that people remember. Some of those moments are pretty easy to pick out like the first time you get to drive your own car or holding your first child.
I was recently blessed with one of those moments when I got married on March 22 to the woman I’ve been with for over six years and the complete love of my life.
The wedding, as most seem to be, was beautiful. We were at Fischer Hall, and the weather cooperated enough to let us hold the ceremony outside. 
The seats were full, and literally overflowing, with the people we cared about most. Watching my bride Alexandra walk down that isle is something I will never forget.

Keep Wimberley Beautiful

Submitted by Wimberley1 on

If you like the hyacinths that bloom in Central Texas in February and March, I would recommend planting them next fall.  I have found them to come back every year after I plant them, although others report that they do not return.

Please welcome the Wimberley View to the 21st Century, or at least the 20th.
It’s been a longtime coming, but the Wimberley View has a website. 
Websites are nothing special these days, though we hope you are impressed with our new design, but in reality, it’s much more than a website.
Along with this digital wave of change, the View can now be found on essentially any platform. The View can  be read the newspaper online, on your Smartphone or tablet.
Our thought is, “Who are we to tell you how to read the news?” We want you to choose.

The future of The Square: The city will soon develop a Central Wimberley Master Plan

Submitted by Wimberley1 on
By DALTON SWEAT
 
Over the next six months, the guidelines will be placed that will govern the development on and around the square.
The city hired Design Workshop, Inc., which helped plan the Blue Hole Regional Park, to develop the Central Wimberley Master Plan.
“It’s such an integral part of our community from an economic standpoint and a tourism stand point,” City Administrator Doug Ferguson said. “The feeling is we need to treat it right and plan for the future to protect that character.”
The city does have a Comprehensive Master Plan, but Ferguson said that the downtown area needs more attention.
