Westcreek Greenway – Final Design Proposal for Neighborhood Partnering Program
The WNA has applied for a Neighborhood Partnering Program cost-share grant to help improve the nature and trail area (both beautification and safety improvements) behind Summerset Trail and Cana Cove. Our efforts will include Small Middle School’s Green Tech Program students.
Here are our final design proposals. We hope to hear if we are awarded by late this year (2016) and if we get the award, we can begin the project in early 2017.

A Westcreek Neighbor wrote, “We worked with True Protection. The contact was John Jarvis 512-940-9774. They were extremely professional, well priced, and very easy to work with!” “If you are thinking of installing a security system I would highly recommend this company!”
How to deal with a neighbor’s loose and/or vicious or aggressive dog
Posted by Jennifer Voss in Pets, Safety, Uncategorized on February 14th, 2014
The City of Austin does have an ordinance about unrestrained dogs.
§ 3-4-1 UNRESTRAINED DOG PROHIBITED.
(A) Except as provided in Section 3-4-4 (Public Areas Where Restraint of a Dog is Not Required), an owner or handler of a dog shall keep the dog under restraint.
(B) A person holding a dog on a leash or lead shall keep the dog under control at all times.
(see http://www.austintexas.gov/department/animal-protection-ordinances)
- If the dog is loose, call 311
- If the dog is loose and is acting aggressive, call 311
- If the dog is loose and close to a school/area with children, call 311 (and definitely mention that)
- If the dog is loose and currently attacking another dog or person, call 911
Animal Control Services respond (come out) to loose dog calls Mon-Fri, 7 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; Sat/Sun 7 a.m.-6:30 p.m. and from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on city holidays. If issues outside of these hours, call 311.
If you have had issues with an owner who habitually lets their dog out (aggressive dog or not), call 311 and report the issue and the owner’s address. Obviously, we want to talk to the neighbor first to solve but if no luck, then call 311. The Animal Control Office will then investigate the situation and discuss with the neighbor. If the dog is out, owner can be cited and dog impounded where owner has to pay to get dog back.
