Liberty Hill will continue with the project to install a roundabout at the intersection of Loop 332, CR 279 and Munro Street despite sta concerns about increased congestion in the area due to other trac improvements. The addition of a roundabout at this intersection is aimed to increase trac ow and slow down trac through downtown, making the intersection safer, according to city ocials. It will also provide an opportunity for landscaping and green space, adding to the city’s downtown aesthetics. “I just wanted to be sure [of] the timing of this, of moving forward now,” City Administrator Paul Bran- denburg said at the April 12 City Coun- cil meeting. “I’m not opposed to the project at all; I believe the roundabout is needed. My dilemma is does it need to be delayed a little bit until signaliza- tion at Main Street and [RM] 1869 are up to see what that looks like?” The Texas Department of Transpor- tation is scheduled to install four-way trac signals at the intersection of
Loop 332 and RM 1869, helping to improve trac in the area. City sta said the trac lights were supposed to be installed last summer, but due to certain obstacles, construc- tion began in April. Brandenburg said the city does not have a timeline for activating the lights. Brandenburg requested a delay in the roundabout project to ensure the intersection signals installed by TxDOT will work for trac control and that the city had a developed plan for trac, detours, trucks and public communication, according to city documents. Without these factors, Brandenburg said the concern is causing more trac issues. Despite this, Council voted in favor of the roundabout project moving forward. The $2.1 million roundabout project will be funded through the city’s general fund budget. The city opened bids May 3 for construction of the project. City o- cials said work on the roundabout project will likely begin in three
