Q: Is the entire Lone Tree Hike and Bike Trail closed now?
A: No. In fact, the entire 2.1 mile trail is open except where the trail crosses John Stockbauer Drive. We have barricaded both sides of the crossing on John Stockbauer to direct trail users to the traffic lights at either Mockingbird Lane or Ben Jordan Street to safely cross the street. Trail users can then use to the sidewalk to get back to the trail and continue on their way.
Q: When is this year's Lighted Holiday Parade?
A: Come rain or come shine, this year's Holiday Parade is set for Saturday, Dec. 5. Because of the construction on Main Street in downtown Victoria, this year's parade will be in front of the Community Center on North Street and turns onto Ben Wilson Street. This year's theme is "Unwrap the Magic." The parade will begin promptly at 6 p.m.
The parade moves along North Street and Ben Wilson Street at the Community Center. The parade features floats, bands, drill teams, antique cars and other entries. The parade usually attracts up to 20,000 spectators, so get there early for the best seats.
For more information on the parade, call 361-485-3200, or e-mail parks@victoriatx.org. To download an entry form for your float, browse to the city Web site at www.victoriatx.org and scroll to the "Parks & Recreation" link and then click on "Recreation Division."
Q: Is it against the law to park on the wrong side of the street at night?
A: Yes, and actually it is against the law to park on the wrong side of the street at any time. Section 545 of the Texas Transportation Code states that "an operator who stops or parks on a two-way roadway shall do so with the right-hand wheels of the vehicle parallel to and within 18 inches of the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway."
Q: Can I get a list of city job openings on the city Web site?
A: Yes. The city Web site is updated at least weekly with any new job openings. The job listings include the position, department and salary for each opening. Complete details regarding the duties of any position can be requested the Human Resources Department.
City employment is open to any person meeting the minimum qualifications as outlined in the current job description on file in the Human Resources Department.

Q: What items can be recycled at the Victoria Recycle Centers?
A: That is a comprehensive list of items but to summarize in general categories, the recycle centers take steel, tin and aluminum cans; No. 1 and No. 2 plastics, with no caps, labels and flattened if possible; white or colored office paper; newspapers, be sure they are not yellowed; pasteboard, such as cereal boxes; corrugated cardboard; magazines; catalogs and phone books.
