R-2016-3897 - 10/27/2016RESOLUTION NO. R-2016-3897
WHEREAS, the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority ("CTRMA") was created to
improve the transportation system in Williamson and Travis counties with a mission to implement
transportation options that reduce congestion and create transportation choices that enhance quality of
life and economic vitality; and
WHEREAS, Williamson County and cities within the county have identified three projects in
long-term transportation planning that will have a significant impact for their residents, including the
design and construction of Phase 1 of MoKan Expressway (Chandler Road to Hwy 45), to be
compatible with existing uses, the full development of frontage roads in the southern portion of 183A,
and the expansion of 183A north of Seward Junction past County Road 258; and
WHEREAS, these projects are needed now to provide transportation solutions for our rapidly
growing population and it is essential to build these projects before it is too late, while right-of-way is
still affordable and before corridors are developed, which could cause disruptions for businesses,
homes or schools if delays occur; and
WHEREAS, congestion is bad for the environment, for the economy, for public safety, and for
quality of life; these projects will give drivers the option to spend less time on the road, help improve
air quality and reduce the threat to public safety caused by crowded highways; and
WHEREAS, a reliable transportation infrastructure is vital to connect goods and people, with
connectivity for motorists being the cornerstone of prosperity, creating expanded economic
development, and more financial opportunities for individuals and families, Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS,
That the City Council requests that the CTRMA partner with Williamson County and the City
to assist in the development of these projects that will improve the quality of lives and safety for City
residents and the region.
