WHEREAS, the Texas Department of Transportation ( "TXDOT ")
has proposed a new highway to be constructed roughly parallel to
Interstate 35 from the City of Georgetown to the City of Seguin,
and
WHEREAS, TXDOT has designated the proposed highway as
State Highway 130 ( "SH 130 "), and
WHEREAS, several alternate routes are under consideration
for SH 130 in the southern Williamson County /City of Round Rock
area, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of Round Rock wishes to express
its recommendations to TXDOT for its consideration with respect
to the preferred route of SH 130 through said area as well as
other important issues, Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK,
TEXAS,
That the following recommendations are hereby made to TXDOT:
1. It is recommended that, starting from the
Williamson and Travis County line and moving
north, the preferred route should be alternative
W -1 and W -2 until SH 130 intersects with the
proposed State Highway 45 ( "SH 45 ".) At that
point, it is recommended that SH 45 be constructed
to full freeway status from its intersection with
SH 130, west to its intersection with IH 35,
thereby providing a direct main lane to main lane
freeway connection between IH 35 and SH 130.
ATTEST:
2. It is recommended that the right -of -way for SH 130
north of its intersection with SH 45 be reserved,
but that the construction of a freeway section
north of SH 45 be postponed until such freeway
becomes necessary to alleviate traffic congestion
on IH 35 between Round Rock and Georgetown. It is
further recommended that concurrent with the first
phase of construction of SH 130, that an arterial
be constructed from the intersection of SH 130 and
SH 45 to U.S. 79.
3. It is recommended that the first phase of SH 130
be constructed from SH 45 to at least as far south
as U.S. Hwy. 71 at the new Austin Bergstrom
Airport.
4. It is recommended that alternatives W -3, W -4, W -5,
and W -6 be eliminated from further consideration.
RESOLVED this 26th day of February, 1998.
