City of Austin covers the following streets: 600-1000 blk S 10th St, Broken Feather Tr, Cactus Bend Dr, Campfire Tr, Canyon Bend Dr, Caribou Ridge Tr, Mountain View Dr, 1300-1500 blk W Olympic Dr, Pioneer Bend Dr, Prairie Ridge Tr, Smoke Signal Pass, Tanner Tr, Wagon Wheel Tr, Wells Point Pass

Besides living/working in
Pflugerville, it is important to frequent Pflugerville businesses. If our
nearly 46,000 residents did so, what a difference it would make--more tax money would
remain here and more businesses that meet our needs would locate or remain here.
Better roads, parks, police protection, and more are a result. Come Home and Shop
