It enables them to evaluate the seller's asking price and participate in preparing a rea...

The Wishbone Bridge is a brand-new, three-pronged pedestrian and bicycle bridge being built near Longhorn Dam to complete the gap in the Butler Trail that’s long forced trail users onto Pleasant Valley Road — a narrow and sometimes stressful route shared with vehicular traffic. When finished, it will connect these key points: Longhorn Shores Canterbury Street area Holly Peninsula in Town Lake Metropolitan Park The bridge’s distinct shape , resembling a wishbone, gives it its na...
