P & Z Recommendation
County Bond Package
March 19, 1987
The P &Z reviewed the proposed County Bond Package and made the
following recommendations to City Council.
1.) The purchase of the MKS right-of -way should be a first priority
and should proceed at the earliest possible date.
2.) The second list of priority projects was recommended to be:
a.) County Road 113
b.) McNeil Road
c.) County Road 122 (2 lanes with a left turn lane at intersections)
d.) Arterial 2 (bond authority for all 6 lanes but phasing to
be determined at a later date)
3.) Bond funds should be tied to these specific projects.
4.) Right -of -way acquisition for portions of the Outer Parkway in
Williamson County should be included in the bond package. This
section of the Outer Parkway will provide a vital east -west
arterial from Nbkan to the county line west of 183.
5.) County Commissioners should develop a construction schedule for
these projects which would prioritize each project.
