In a recent election held on Saturday, unofficial yet final results indicate that a staggering 91.29 percent of Lost Creek residents voted in favor of Proposition A, expressing their support to disannex from the city. This vote was a result of a state House bill passed last year, which mandated that the state's largest cities allow certain neighborhoods to choose whether to remain within the city limits.

Proposition C, which pertained to the Blue Goose Road area, saw a minimal but unanimous response, with all three votes in favor of disannexation. Similarly, Proposition F, encompassing 212 acres of land in River Place in West Austin, saw a solitary vote cast, which was also in favor of disannexing. These results demonstrate a clear preference amongst residents for exiting their current affiliation with the city.

Contrary to these outcomes, voters residing in the Lennar at Malone neighborhood in South Austin, as represented by Proposition D, expressed overwhelming opposition to disannexation. A significant 98.21 percent of votes were cast against the proposition, indicating a strong desire to remain within the city. In contrast, neither Proposition B, representing the Mooreland addition in South Austin, nor Proposition E, concerning the Wildhorse/Webb Tract in Northeast Austin, received a single vote in their favor.

These compelling election results highlight the importance of the state House bill in giving communities the opportunity to assert their desire to separate from the city if they were incorporated into it between March 3, 2015, and Dec. 1, 2017. This window of annexation was significant as it preceded the passing of a subsequent law that would have potentially halted such annexations.

The voting process allowed residents of Lost Creek and other affected areas to actively participate and voice their preferences regarding their affiliation with the city. With a majority of Lost Creek residents backing disannexation, it remains to be seen how the city will address this outcome and accommodate the desires of its residents moving forward.

It is important to note that these results are unofficial and require final confirmation. However, they provide valuable insights into the sentiments of the residents of Lost Creek and other involved areas, offering a glimpse into the potential changes that may be on the horizon for these communities.
