Good morning, Cedar Park-Leander! Here's everything you need to know to get this Wednesday started off right.

First, today's weather:

Sunshine and pleasant. High: 77 Low: 65.

Here are the top three stories in Cedar Park-Leander today:

1. On the May 7 ballot, Cedar Park voters will choose whether to approve three propositions for transportation, park, and public safety projects totaling $158.8 million. The 2022 program includes $86.6 million for transportation projects (Proposition A), $42.2 million for parks and recreation projects (Proposition B), and $30 million for a public safety project (Proposition C). Voters approve the project types, for example, transportation, but the specific projects suggested can change over time based on need. The 2022 bond programs are expected to be complete in five to seven years, according to the city. Cedar Park voters will also elect a mayor and three council members. (KXAN)
2. On Tuesday, the Leander Fire Department tweeted a video of a firefighter handing stickers to two small children from an extended ladder atop a fire truck. The two children were in a family member’s arms on their family’s third-floor balcony in a Leander apartment complex, where the firefighters had been conducting training. The tweet said, "While out on a training exercise, the Station 1 tiller crew (C shift) had an opportunity to hand out some stickers to 2 future firefighters!" (KXAN)
