Walker: The Year in Review
So what did your tax dollars do in the City of Walker in 2011? Check out our newest Annual Report, We Built This City, so named because it was Walker's first official year as a city, and we as a community worked together to continue improving our quality of life. Learn about all the infrastructure we built, free community events we offered, grants we won and improvements we made. Click here to see the report.

The Mardi Gras Parade is back!
Celebrate a family-friendly Mardi Gras in Walker. Our parade is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4. Catch a glimpse of festive floats, antique cars, dancers and more as they wind their way through the heart of Walker. Anyone can participate, and there is no entry fee. For details, click here. For a map of the parade route, click here. For a mandatory parade entry form, click here.

Check out this blueprint.
What are our next priorities for annexation into the city? Which of our roads should be expanded into parkways? Where will we focus our next beautification efforts? These and other questions are answered in the latest draft of our master plan, "Blueprint of a City," available online for your viewing here. We've delayed adoption of the document until later this spring to give everyone a chance to review it.

New Year. New Walker.
Happy New Year, Walker! We're very excited about the coming year in our community. We have a number of improvements coming our way in 2012, including the widening of the interstate and intersection improvements, the opening of Our Lady of the Lake Livingston in the fall, new equipment and trails at the parks and more. To get a glimpse of all that's in store, click here.

Widening of I-12 moves to Walker this winter
The widening of Interstate 12 from Juban Road to Walker just took a giant leap forward. Barriere Construction is the firm in charge of adding an additional lane of travel in each direction. The $21.9 million project is expected to begin sometime between December and February, and finish by the Spring of 2013. Read all about it in the November issue of The Walker Report here.
