Pflugerville amends master mobility plan
Hutto pavement project wraps up
Priority projects identified in Pflugerville’s mobility plan include: Roadway projects: 13 Estimated cost: $186.2 million
Pflugerville City Council approved the first reading of a transportation mobility plan at its May 13 meeting. Council members requested reconsid- eration for bike lanes in the roadway designs. Some background Pflugerville created a mobility master plan in 2024, combining and updating past transportation and trails plans. The city’s main considerations include safety, connectivity, sustainability and diverse transportation options, according to city documents. The plan prioritizes: • Safer 4-lane divided major roads • Expanded collector roads to reduce congestion • Enhanced sidewalks and off-street bike lanes for safer travel • Expanded trail network from 1.9 to 3.7 miles
A project to prolong the quality of neighborhood streets in Hutto began May 30, causing road closures until the work concludes June 17. What residents need to know The project will improve streets in the Enclave at Brushy Creek Estates, Brushy Creek Meadows, Glenwood, Emory Farms and Country Estates II. About the project The pavement preservation project will help extend the life of asphalt streets. Con- tractor Holbrook Asphalt will apply a high density mineral bond, which will smooth roads and delay the need for a complete street replacement.
