LEANDER, Texas (KXAN) -- The heavily trafficked Ronald Reagan Boulevard that runs north and south through cities in Williamson County is in need of a new paint job. Neighbors in the area who drive the road consistently say the striping on the roadway that divides the lanes is worn and faded, almost blending into the road. Charlene Mertz, a Liberty Hill resident, describes the condition of the road as "miserable." The road is two northbound lanes and two southbound lanes with a grass median separating the two. The speed limit can be anywhere between 55 and 65 miles per hour and Mertz said she is worried every time she drives it. "You can't see the edge of the road. You can't see the line divisions. You can't see anything," Mertz explained. Who maintains the road?Mertz said she has been trying to get the road restriped for months. She has called Williamson County to get somebody to fix it, but has not heard back. A Williamson County spokesperson said the county only maintains the road...UT to lead multi-million dollar space project

On a summer afternoon, Norwegian choreographer Thomas Talawa Prestø was watching as two dancers from his Oslo-based company, Tabanka Dance Ensemble, put another dance company’s artists through the paces of one of his new works. Bob Marley played over the speaker system in the rehearsal room of the Five Points home of Cleo Parker Robinson Dance. Prestø stood with his hands on his hips, aware that the dancers were still finding their way through his system of ancestral and contemporary movements, called the Talawa Technique.Meanwhile, dance doyenne Robinson stood nearby, smiling as she walked along the wall panning with her iPhone camera and documenting the open rehearsal of “Catch Ah Fire.”As her dancers rehearsed beside Prestø’s dance instructors, a faint sheen of perspiration began to glisten on their chests, arms, and foreheads. They stomped, leaped and held poses. Things were getting strenuous. The audience was warming up, too, offering whoops and yelps.
