E Presentation and discussion regarding the Williams Drive Gateway Plan – Nathaniel Waggoner, Long Range
Planning Manager
Waggoner gave presentation which is included in the agenda. Brashear asked how the proposed projects fit
within the Williams Drive Study. Waggoner answered that they fit directly regarding access management in
reducing turning conflicts. Raising the medians and creating turn pockets will help with traffic flow. Ricks
asked if the signal timing was complete, Waggoner replied that it is an ongoing improvement. Dryden asked
and Gutekunst replied that they did not directly included costs for closing driveways in the estimate
presented. Sutphin asked and Gutekunst answered that they did include funds to fix failing sidewalks and
close gaps in existing sidewalks.
F Presentation and discussion regarding the feedback and input received through the public engagement and
citizen survey – Jake Gutekunst, Kimley-Horn
Gutekunst gave presentation which is included in the agenda. No questions.
G Consideration and possible action to approve the projects in a bond package for the proposed bond
targeting May 2021 – Jake Gutekunst, Kimley-Horn
Gutekunst gave presentation which is included in the agenda. Brashear noted that the top three projects in
the ranking were close to the $50 million target that Council wanted and suggested that they take those
projects and the remaining money in the $50 million and divide it amond sidewalks, bike lanes, and
transportation technology. Sutphin supported Brashear’s idea but also suggested that they show the Council
the public’s and the committee’s full ranking list. Smith stated that he thinks they should give as many
options to the Council as possible and is hesitant to only present three and stick to the $50 million. McKee
supported Brashear’s idea but also supported Sutphin addition of showing all projects in case more money
becomes available. Sutphin asked and Gutekunst replied that less than 1% of the population commented.
Brashear clarified that he also thinks that the committee should present their full rankings to the Council
and let them decide where the want to draw the budget line. Watson stated that she wanted to show
Council both the committee list and the public input list. Ricks presented the question to the committee to
see if members would like to re-rank their lists based on the input from the public. Holzer added that he
thinks they need to have both lists. There was discussion about giving committee members a chance to re-
rank their lists.
Brashear made a motion that the committee go back and re-rank their lists, taking into account the public
rankings, and that they come back together and make their final decision at the January 4th meeting.
Motion by Brashear, second by Bohnenkamp.

City of Georgetown 2021 Mobility Bond
2021 Mobility Bond Final Project Ranking (Top 10)
Note: All projects are adding lanes to achieve a 4-lane arterial with exceptions noted.
1.SE Inner Loop from SH 29 to FM 1460 - $42.1 Million (68% in Favor)
o SE Inner Loop is at capacity today and forecasted high growth area. This project
will also help with the need for ped & bike connections.
2.Shell Road from Williams Drive to North of Sycamore Drive - $14.2 Million (74% in Favor)
o Shell Road was under consideration in the 2015 bond and is experiencing rapid growth
and is near capacity today. This project has high public support and will help serve
existing residents and planned development along the northern end of this corridor.
3.Williams Drive from DB Wood to IH 35 - $10.2 Million (56% in Favor)
o Scope Note: median with left turns in place of center turn lane & sidewalks
o This is the most congested arterial in the city & needs resources to implement past
planning work and the federally funded upcoming access management study. The
median and turn lanes will improve both safety and flow, while also filling in and
repairing critical sidewalk gaps.
4.DB Wood from 1300’ South of Williams Drive to Oakridge Road - $19.0 Million (78% in
Favor)
o This project will build upon the active 2015 bond project to widen DB Wood to the
south from SH 29 to Oakridge Dr and complement the Shell Road project to build the
western “loop” for Georgetown by building to 4 lanes.
5.Leander Rd from Southwest Bypass to Norwood Drive West - $7.7 Million (64% in Favor)
o This project was a priority that lost funding from CAMPO, and inclusion would help
move forward with already underway plans and build upon active right-of-way
acquisition to get the project finished and 4 lanes to the Southwest Bypass loop.
6.SH 29 from Haven Ln to Inner Loop - $22.4 Million (65% in Favor)
o This is a bottleneck for the east side of Georgetown and would also help with bicycle
and pedestrian connectivity from Southwestern University to Inner Loop.
7.NE Inner Loop from IH-35 to FM 971 - $18.1 Million (58% in Favor)
o This project would serve a heavy commercial and industrial growth zone in the City
and help build the northeastern portion of the “loop” to 4 lanes.
8.Austin Avenue Bridges from Second St to Morrow Street - $11.5 Million (73% in Favor)
o Scope Note: bridge rehab and separate pedestrian & bike bridge
o This project builds upon ongoing design work and funds construction of the project.
9.Williams Drive from Jim Hogg to DB Wood - $8.6 Million (50% in Favor)
o Scope Note: median with left turns in place of center turn lane & sidewalks
o This project will help with safety issues from the center turn lane and extend sidewalk
connectivity out to Sun City along Williams Drive.
10.Southwestern from SH 29 to Raintree Drive - $11.5 Million (25% in Favor)
o This project builds upon the active project to widen to 4 lanes from Raintree to Inner
Loop and improves pedestrian connectivity across a floodplain.
