Flowers Construction Company Requested Price Increase Evaluation
In accordance with your request, we have completed the evaluation for the requested price
increase for Flowers Construction Company. We evaluated the proposed unit prices with unit totals
we estimated in projects we have designed from January, 2005 thru December, 2005 and compared the
total cost of construction of the existing unit prices to the proposed unit prices. Enclosed herewith is
the evaluation of the proposed unit prices. The proposed unit prices did not increase from the current
• contract price of $33,305.30.
Flowers Construction Company has been working for the City since 1995, has done
satisfactory work, and has worked hard to complete projects in a timely manner. It is our
recommendation that the City extend this contract for a twelve (12) month period as allowed in the
contract. This contract allows up to a maximum of five (5) one-year extensions at the City's option
and consent of the Contractor. This extension would be the first extension for the contract.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, or need further information.

(2) a statement of the benefits anticipated to result from completion of the project;
Georgetown's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) list identifies project 14 B as
the Southwest Bypass SH 29 to FM 2243. By itself, this portion of roadway will
provide an alternate north/south route for vehicles to and from the City's largest
areas of residential and commercial growth. This alternate route will improve safety
by giving heavy truck traffic an opportunity to avoid local schools and neighborhoods
while decreasing the counts on the already congested IH 35 intersections. This
segment, being a portion of Southwest Bypass, will provide an integral connection
between SH 29 and IH 35. The Southwest Bypass will complete a loop of the South
side of the City that will provide an alternative east/west route and prevent the need
to widen SH 29 through the Historic District. The completion of the Bypass and its
connection to D. B. Wood road will provide access from the northwest quadrant of the
City directly to both III 35 and SH 130. This route will also divert internal traffic

RULE §5.53 Proposal
Rule §5.53 Proposal:
(a) A governmental entity authorized to finance, construct, maintain, or operate a state
highway or a private entity may submit in writing to the department a proposal for a
project, or a series of projects, to be developed under a pass-through toll agreement. The
proposal must include:
The Georgetown City Council has adopted the overall transportation plan. Funding
for these projects will be brought to council for approval. The City of Georgetown
has been authorized to finance, construct, maintain, or operate a state highway.
(1) a description of the project, including the project limits, connections with other
transportation facilities, and a description of the services to be provided by the developer;
Proiect Description: The larger project, Southwest Bypass, is a proposed four -lane,
divided facility located in the southern portion of the City of Georgetown, Texas. The
Southwest Bypass will provide integral connections between SH 29, F.M. 2243 and
IH 35. This project will provide a free flow of traffic between these roadways. The
completion of the Southwest Bypass and its connection to D.B. Wood Road will
., provide access from the northwest quadrant of the City of Georgetown directly to
both IH 35 and SH 130. This route will also divert internal traffic from IH 35
through Georgetown, allowing access to existing and proposed economic
development projects within the community. (See attached exhibit).
Proiect Limits: Southwest Bypass, beginning at a point on FM 2243 (Leander Road),
2.2 miles west of IH 35 and extending southward and eastward 2 miles to its
intersection east of IH 35 at the existing intersection of the Southeast Inner Loop and
Blue Springs Boulevard.
(2) a statement of the benefits anticipated to result from completion of the project;
The completion of the Southwest Bypass is of great significance to the City of
Georgetown and Williamson County as a regional roadway. SH 29 currently carries
significant east -west traffic through the Georgetown area. Trip counts on SH 29 are
anticipated to double once State Highway 130 is open. This project would allow
regional traffic a more efficient route around Georgetown. The bypass will provide
an alternative to IH 35 for local trips thus reducing congestion on the National
Highway System. With completion of the Southwest Bypass project, connectivity will
be achieved from F.M. 2338 (Williams Drive) in the northwest quadrant to the
southern portion of the City at IH 35

northbound entrance ramp. Another safety enhancement will come from providing
possible additional access points to the Georgetown Hospital and U.S. Post Office on
the south side of the South San Gabriel River. The possibility of purchasing access
rights along new frontage road will promote economic development on the
undeveloped land north of the South San Gabriel River. The frontage road will also
help accommodate a U-turn structure that will be needed in the near future. The
Georgetown Transportation Model estimates the future average daily volume for the
frontage road from Southeast Inner Loop to Lakeway Drive to be 4600 in 2010.

RULE §5.53 Proposal
Rule §5.53 Proposal:
(a) A governmental entity authorized to finance, construct, maintain, or operate a state
highway, or a private entity may submit in writing to the department a proposal for a
project, or a series of projects, to be developed under a pass-through toll agreement. The
proposal must include:
The Georgetown City Council has adopted the overall transportation plan. Funding
for these projects will be brought to council for approval. The City of Georgetown
has been authorized to finance, construct, maintain, or operate a state highway.
(1) a description of the project, including the project limits, connections with other
transportation facilities, and a description of the services to be provided by the developer;
Proiect Description • The larger project, Southwest Bypass, is a proposed four -lane,
divided facility located in the southern portion of the City of Georgetown, Texas. The
Southwest Bypass will provide integral connections between SH 19, F.M. 2243 and
IFI 35. This project will provide a free flow of traffic between these roadways. The
completion of the Southwest Bypass and its connection to D.B. Wood Road will
provide access from the northwest quadrant of the City of Georgetown directly to
both IFI 35 and SH 130. This route will also divert internal traffic from IH 35, FM
2338, FM 2243, and SH 29 through Georgetown, allowing access to existing and
proposed economic development projects within the community.
Project Limits: Southwest Bypass, beginning at a point on FM 2243 (Leander Road),
2.2 miles west oflH 35, and extending northward 2.3 miles to its intersection with SH
29, approximately 2 miles west of IH 35. An additional project is to be constructed
by the City of Georgetown to provide connectivity from the Southwest Bypass
allowing direct access from D.B. Wood Road which connects northwest
Georgetown/Williams Drive West with the Southwest Bypass. (See attached exhibit)
The City of Georgetown proposes a turnkey project including; Engineering
(preliminary and final), environmental and archeological clearances, right-of-way
acquisition and construction. Once completed, the City will assume maintenance of
this facility.

Date: February6, 2006
Re: SE 1 ROW Acquisition
The following email from Tem Calhoun generally capsulizes the conversations that are
beginning with regards to ROW for the SE1 project. We have concluded our final discussions
with ROCK in order to determine preliminary cost of property acquisition and relocation to be
extensive. As a result, the centerline of the roadway was shifted 450' to the South of the
ROCK after evaluating multiple options. The final option selected, as updated to GTEC at the
last meeting, was actually a cost neutral or cost reduction from the original alignment through
the ROCK. Someone was going to be directly impacted no matter which route was selected.
There will be multiple indirect impacts from the alignment as well. When our ROW group
starts serious negotiations with landowners for Rights of Entry, surveys and appraisals each
property owner is going to start moving to contact me, Paul and You with concerns and "Not
in my Backyard" arguments. We are open and flexible as we can be to listen and take the
concerns into account but must stay on course with the bigger picture for the larger
community. So when and if you are contacted regarding SE1, or any other ROW issue,
please contact the staff beginning with Terri Calhoun in order that we maintain a central point
of contact for all information. Outside negotiations would impact our case if we were to enter
condemnation proceedings and diminish the case on behalf of the City. We all must be
careful to remember that even casual conversations regarding ROW acquisition can be taken
as deliberations and negotiations by the landowner. If you have questions, or if you are
contacted and not sure what you should do, please contact Tem with those concerns. We
want to make sure she is informed and can get back to you with a recommended course of
action that has been verified through our attorneys as appropriate.
Jim,
As we discussed earlier today, right-of-way negotiations for the SE1 project are underway.
Our Right -of -Way Agent, George Schlemeyer, has contacted the additional property owners
affected by the final "Route B" alignment in an attempt to obtain voluntary rights of entry.
Things are going well with the exception of the Molnars (property south of R.O.C.K.), who are
quite upset about the route and are refusing to work with George at this point.
Mark Molnar called me this morning and we had a long conversation. By the time, we were
done, he seemed to be in a more cooperative frame of mind, but his biggest complaint is that
he feels the City chose the final alignment based on the influence of his "neighbors" and
although he didn't expressly state it, I assume he means R.O.C.K. He indicated that he might
be calling City officials about it. Just wanted to give you a heads up that you, the GTEC
Board members, and/or Council members might be hearing from him. Since we are now
involved in right-of-way negotiations, please refer his calls to either me or George
Schlemeyer (345-6518) and urge City officials to refrain from engaging in open negotiations
or "road engineering" discussions with the landowners, to the extent possible ... to extent
possible.

RE:
Trainer settlement offer
The City has received the attached settlement proposal from Trainer's counsel Dan
Foster. I thought it would be helpful prior to the next Council meeting to provide you
with this overview of Trainer's proposal and the status of the case; I will be present next
Monday evening to discuss the City's options for final resolution of this last SH29
matter.
Case status. As you know, the City and Trainer have exchanged numerous
settlement proposals since the acquisition process began in June 2004. The City's
original offer to Trainer, based on a Jimmy Vick appraisal, was $118,478 ($7.25/SF).
Trainer countered at $167,500 plus a number of significant non-cash considerations,
including most significantly the swap of an almost equivalent amount of ROW.
In response, the City had the "swap" tract appraised, and that appraisal amount
was $10.25/SF, or a total of $83,670. Based upon that appraisal, Council authorized a
total settlement to Trainer of $98,860 (valuation of all land, fee simple, easement, and
swap, at $10.25/SF, plus a total of $37,150 for cure items such as driveway
reconfigurations, wastewater line connection costs, and the like). Trainer declined the
swap proposal. Due to a subsequent design change, the swap tract is no longer available
for use in resolving the case.
Trainer gave the City a Possession and Use Agreement, under which the City
tendered to Trainer its original offer amount of $118,478. Having reached no agreement,
the City proceeded to Commissioner's Hearing this past July (after having postponed
once at Trainer's request). Trainer did not appear, and the Commissioners entered Mr.
Vick's appraised amount as the Award.
I sent discovery requests to Trainer in August; he has yet to respond. The case is
not yet set for trial. To my knowledge Trainer has not retained any potential trial experts
other than Steger and Bizzell, who have performed engineering work for Trainer as
outlined in his settlement proposal.
Trainer's current offer. Trainer currently proposes to settle for $305,357. That
amount is comprised of $13.50/SF for the land and easement, and a total of $113,881 for
costs to cure, as detailed in Foster's proposal.
Land value. Since the City had the adjacent swap tract appraised at $10.25/SF,
I think it likely that any reappraisal of Trainer's property for trial purposes would total at
least that amount. Thus, the City's likely "upside" for compensation for just the land and
easements would total $145,380. Foster claims market evidence exists to support
$15/SF, such that if the City and Trainer go to trial the range of difference in positions on
this part of the compensation would be approximately $145,380 to $212,751. The City
has had two seriously contested hearings on this project (San Gabriel Storage Systems
and A -Tex); in neither did the Commissioners award any more than $10/SF.
Cost to cure. The original cost to cure figure utilized by both the City and
Trainer was $37,150. Adding that number to $10.25/SF for the land would indicate total
compensation. of $182,530. Without having seen Steger and Bizzell's plans or having
2
had our own estimates of the reconstruction work performed, however, it is not possible
to accurately assess a range of difference in positions for the cost to cure. Trainer's new
cure estimate of $113,881, some three times higher than originally thought by all,
probably merits the City's hiring of its own expert to estimate the cost to cure.
I look forward to discussing these issues with you in more detail during Monday's
meeting.

Re: City of Georgetown's acquisition of Parcel 3, 3E and 14
Doug Trainer
Dear Kent:
I am writing to propose a settlement of the above referenced matter. We
appreciate the time necessary to complete the proposal and are optimistic that we may
finally resolve all the issues surrounding this acquisition. As you know, Mr. Trainer has
been working with City staff to complete a revised site plan which will attempt to address
the issues created by the City's acquisition. It seems to me that compensation in this
matter can be divided into two distinct parts - compensation for the land acquired and
compensation for the costs Mr. Trainer has and will continue to incur in order to cure the
problems created by the City's acquisition.
LAND VALUE
Your last offer on March 1, 2005, was based on a $10.25 PSF value for a fee simple
acquisition of 10,629 SF and a 4,443 SF utility easement. Given the intensity of
commercial activity In the immediate vicinity of the subject property, it is difficult to
imagine the property is worth less than Mr. Trainer's original demand of $13.50. In fact,
recent sales in the immediate vicinity indicate a value in excess of $15.00 PSF. However,
in an effort to resolve this matter, Mr. Trainer will still accept the compensation based on
11/23/2005 11:37 PAA 5124740804 WOMACit MCCLISN 1&003/006

$13.50 PSF. This equates to $143,491 for the area acquired in fee and $47,984 for the
easement area.
COST OF CURE
Mr. Trainer has incurred significant costs associated with the preparation and
submission of a revised site plan which addresses the problems created by the City's
taking. it is apparent that his tract will never again function as well as it did prior to this
project given the relocation of his driveways. Nonetheless, for settlement purposes we
ask only that Mr. Trainer be reimbursed for his actual out of pocket expenses in
reconfiguring the property. Those can be broken down into planning and construction.
Planning: To date, Mr. Trainer has incurred $16,177. As you know, the City has yet to
approve his proposed site plan submitted by Steger & Bizzell.
Construction: Based on estimates provided by Steger & Bizzell and other contractors, it
anticipated that construction cost for reconfiguring the property will total $82,067. These
cost are as follows:
Hard Costs - Construction
Driveway
Prepare Grade $2.000

$42,624
Existing Driveway Repair

As previously agreed by the City, drainage from the property must be routed to a
regional facility located in the Simon Property. As part of construction of the proposed
facilities, the retention pond and filtration system have been removed from the subject
remainder. The filled pond must be regraded so that drainage will flow into the new
underground system. This area must also be revegetated to prevent future erosion.
The existing sidewalk, which was destroyed by the construction has been
replaced in accordance with City criteria. The existing sign is currently being moved by
the City's contractor.
TOTAL COMPENSATION
As previously mentioned, we believe there is ample market evidence to support
compensation in excess of $15.00 PSF. At that amount, Mr. Trainer is due compensation
of $326,632, a significant portion of which is attributable to actual cost of cure. In an effort
to resolve this matter without necessity of trial, Mr. Trainer will accept compensation of
$305,357.

• Planning, Engineering and Permit Fees
If actual cost of cure were used in place of the estimates used in the City's last
settlement correspondence, .the "City's Offer" above would actually increase from
$182,530 to $259,261 resulting in a difference between the City's offer and Mr. Trainer's
settlement proposal of only $46,096. In essence, the only arguable settlement difference
we have is based on the price per square foot to be paid for the land. As you probably
know, there are recent sales almost directly across Highway 29 at $20 PSF. Again, it is
difficult to imagine that Mr. Trainer's property is worth less than $15.00 PSF and it seems
that settlement at $13.50 PSF constitutes a significant concession.
Mr. Trainer is interested in completing this matter as quickly and reasonably as
possible. To the extent the City is able to complete any of the construction projects
detailed above as part of Its project and at its expense, he Is willing to do that. We will
execute a temporary construction easement detailing the itemswhich will be undertaken
by the City's contractor. Hopefully this will expedite the process and save the City some
money.

AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
B T:
Discussion and possible action regarding Pass-Through Tolling/Financing Projects (presented to
TxDOT on December 22, 2005) for possible funding.
ITEM SUMMARY:
The City of Georgetown has been looking into possible options to finance transportation
improvement projects needed in our area. Staff has reviewed and evaluated a program that is under Title 43
of the Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 5, Subchapter E: Pass -Through Tolls. This Code will allow the
City of Georgetown and the Transportation Commission to enter into a contract for financing of our most
needed transportation projects. Through this agreement, the City of Georgetown will pay for the initial cost
of the projects and the State will reimburse the City, at a rate determined by the volume of traffic that uses the
roadway improvements, over a period of up to twenty years. The participation of local governments in these
agreements has typically been twenty percent (20%). The funding for these projects is distributed on a first-
come, first-served basis and is limited to the funds available in Fund 6 (the State Highway Fund).
At TxDOT's request, staff presented a list of projects to the District Engineer for consideration of
funding and asked that he recommend to the State Transportation Commission that he be given authorization
to negotiate a contract with Georgetown for financing of these improvements.
Staff requests approval to formulate a funding plan and negotiate a contract with the State for
financing of these improvements.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The preliminary estimate for the list of projects is approximately $160,000,000.00. The City would
finance the full amount and be reimbursed for 80% of the total over a negotiated period. Full financial impact
and analysis would be completed prior to City Council consideration of the contract execution.
GUS BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
The Transportation Advisory Board met on January 9, 2006 at 1:00 p.m.. Staff will present the Board's
recommendation to Council on January 10, 2006.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval to formulate a funding plan and negotiate a contract with the State for financing
of these improvements.
COMMENTS:
None.

Dear Bob:
The City of Georgetown has been working for several months in order to come
up with an acceptable strategy with regards to financing the construction of area
transportation projects within the City of Georgetown and surrounding area.
Georgetown has evaluated additional congressional funding, toll options for
roadway construction, pass-through financing and direct bond options in
cooperative efforts with Williamson County. The City of Georgetown is faced
with some tremendous transportation challenges in the next five to fifteen years.
A majority is being generated by local growth but also by the increase in traffic
flow around the Austin metroplex/Central Texas area. As a result all entities,
TxDOT, Williamson County, and cities are faced with the same challenges.
In order to effectively respond to the needs for new transportation projects,
Georgetown has evaluated the opportunity and potential to finance construction
of certain transportation projects through a program under Title 43 of the Texas
Administrative Code, Chapter 5, Subchapter E: Pass -Through tolls. In reading
this information, it is clear that this is a tool to be used to effectively finance the
construction of certain transportation improvement projects. We have taken the
time to place a number of transportation projects into a package for
consideration within the Georgetown area. These projects include known
transportation projects within the Central Texas area, such as the Southwest
Bypass. However, also included are frontage roads along IH -35 on the Federal
system.

Mr. Bob Daigh

We think that this particular package meets the short and long-term
transportation goals of the community and the state-wide traveling public in this
area. We sincerely hope that you will give this proposal strong consideration
with regards to funding and construction of these projects by recommending to
the State Transportation Commission that you be given authorization to
negotiate a contract with Georgetown for the financing of these particular
projects through the pass-through toll initiative under the Texas Administrative
Code.
We think that this proposal is a win for Georgetown, Williamson County and the
State of Texas. We sincerely hope that we will be able to move forward with
these projects collectively to meet the transportation needs of Central Texas and
Texans in general.
Sincerely,
JHB/iw

RULE §5.53 Proposal
Rule §5.53 Proposal:
--------------------
(a) A governmental entity authorized to finance, construct, maintain, or operate a state
highway, or a private entity may submit in writing to the department a proposal for a
project, or a series of projects, to be developed under a pass-through toll agreement. The
proposal must include:
The Georgetown City Council has adopted the overall transportation plan. Funding
for these projects will be brought to council for approval. The City of Georgetown
has been authorized to finance, construct, maintain, or operate a state highway.
(1) a description of the project, including the project limits, connections with other
transportation facilities, and a description of the services to be provided by the developer;
Project Description • The larger project, Southwest Bypass, is a proposed four -lane,
divided facility located in the southern portion of the City of Georgetown, Texas. The
Southwest Bypass will provide integral connections between SH 29, F.M. 2243 and
IH 35. This project will provide a free flow of traffic between these roadways. The
completion of the Southwest Bypass and its connection to D.B. Wood Road will
provide access from the northwest quadrant of the City of Georgetown directly to
both IH 35 and SH 130. This route will also divert internal traffic from IH 35, FM
2338, FM 2243, and SH 29 through Georgetown, allowing access to existing and
proposed economic development projects within the community.
Proiect Limits .• Southwest Bypass, beginning at a point on FM 2243 (Leander Road),
2.2 miles west of IH 35, and extending northward 2.3 miles to its intersection with SH
29, approximately 2 miles west of IH 35. An additional project is to be constructed
by the City of Georgetown to provide connectivity from the Southwest Bypass
allowing direct access from D.B. Wood Road which connects northwest
Georgetown/Williams Drive West with the Southwest Bypass. (See attached exhibit)
The City of Georgetown proposes a turnkey project including; Engineering
(preliminary and final), environmental and archeological clearances, right-of-way
acquisition and construction. Once completed, the City will assume maintenance of
this facility.

(2) a statement of the benefits anticipated to result from completion of the project;
Georgetown's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) list identifies project 14 B as
the Southwest Bypass SH 29 to FM 2243. By itself, this portion of roadway will
provide an alternate north/south route for vehicles to and from the City's largest
areas of residential and commercial growth. This alternate route will improve safety
by giving heavy truck traffic an opportunity to avoid local schools and neighborhoods
while decreasing the counts on the already congested IH 35 intersections. This
segment, being a portion of Southwest Bypass, will provide an integral connection
between SH 29 and 1H 35. The Southwest Bypass will complete a loop of the South
side of the City that will provide an alternative east/west route and prevent the need
to widen SH 29 through the Historic District. The completion of the Bypass and its
connection to D.B. Wood road will provide access from the northwest quadrant of the
City directly to both IH 35 and SH 130. This route will also divert internal traffic
Page 2 of 4
1:\SystemsEngineering\Transportation\Pass-through-financing\148 SW Bypass Revision.doc
from IH 35, SH 29 and FM 2338 through Georgetown, allowing access to existing
and proposed economic development projects within the community. Based on
Georgetown's transportation model the future average daily traffic volume in 2010 is
expected to be 5500.
(3) a description of the local public support for the project and any local public
opposition;
The City of Georgetown's 4B Corporation has held an advertised public hearing and
the only concern regarding this project was from the neighborhoods on Leander
Road. They preferred that both sections be constructed at the same time. (14B and
14C)
(4) a proposed project development and implementation schedule;
If funding is made available, the project will move forward in our Transportation
Improvements Planning (TIP) process.
(5) a description of the entity's experience in developing highway projects, if the proposer
is a public entity;
The City of Georgetown is currently developing Southwest Bypass and Southeast
Arterial 1 to State and Federal standards, using consultant engineers with extensive
experience in developing highway projects with the State of Texas Department of
Transportation. In addition, City staff has worked on numerous advance funding
agreements with Texas Department of Transportation, the purchase of right-of-way
for the SH 29 project, and the City of Georgetown's Systems Engineering Manager
has experience with State of California Department of Transportation.
(6) complete information concerning the experience, expertise, technical competence, and
qualifications of the proposer and of each member of the proposer's management team
and of other key employees or consultants, including the name, address, and professional
designation of each member of the proposer's management team and of other key
employees or consultants, and the capability of the proposer to develop the proposed
projects, if the proposer is a private entity;
This question is not applicable, because the city is not a private entity.
(7) if available, a proposed pass-through toll payment schedule;
At this time the City of Georgetown does not have a proposed payment schedule.
(8) a statement indicating whether the proposer intends for the project to be tolled and, if
the proposer intends for a tolled project to be first opened to traffic as a non -tolled
highway, the approximate date on which the highway will begin to be tolled; and
Page 3 of 4

(2) a statement of the benefits anticipated to result from completion of the project;
The completion of the Southwest Bypass is of great significance to the City of
Georgetown and Williamson County as a regional roadway. SH 29 currently carries
significant east -west traffic through the Georgetown area. Trip counts on SH 29 are
anticipated to double once State Highway 130 is open. This project would allow
regional traffic a more efficient route around Georgetown. The bypass will provide
an alternative to IH 35 for local trips thus reducing congestion on the National
Highway System. With completion of the Southwest Bypass project, connectivity will
be achieved from F.M. 2338 (Williams Drive) in the northwest quadrant to the
southern portion of the City at IH 35

Proiect Description: Southeast Arterial One (SE 1) project will consist of a four lane
divided facility connecting SH 130 at CR 104 overpass to Southeast Inner Loop at CR
110 with grade separation at CR 110 south of Inner Loop and a fly -over at Inner
Loop to allow continuous east/west movement. The City of Georgetown proposes a
turnkey project including; Engineering (preliminary and final), environmental and
archeological clearances, right-of-way acquisition and construction. Once
completed, the City will assume maintenance of this facility.
Proiect Limits: Southeast Arterial 1 will travel west from the intersection of State
Highway 130 and County Road 104, to connect with the Georgetown Inner Loop at
its intersection with County Road 110.
(2) a statement of the benefits anticipated to result from completion of the project;
Georgetown's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) project list identifies Project
(12) as Arterial SE One from Inner Loop to SH 130. The SH 130 preliminary
engineering projections indicated that the SH 29 overpass would need to be six lanes
to accommodate the future traffic counts. This project will provide an alternative
east/west route between SH 130 and IH 35 eliminating the need to widen SH 29 to six
lanes through Georgetown and its historic district. The completion of this arterial
along with the Southwest Bypass projects will divert internal traffic from SH 29, IH
35 and Business 35 through Georgetown. Base on the Georgetown Transportation
Model the future average traffic volume in 2010 is expected to be 8000.

and FM 2243. Safety will be enhanced by eliminating the clover leaf style
northbound entrance ramp. Another safety enhancement will come f om providing
possible additional access points to the Georgetown Hospital and U.S. Post office on
the south side of the South San Gabriel River. The possibility of purchasing access
rights along new f outage road will promote economic development on the
undeveloped land north of the South San Gabriel River. The frontage road will also
help accommodate a U-turn structure that will be needed in the near future. The
Georgetown Transportation Model estimates the future average daily volume for the
frontage road from Southeast Inner Loop to Lakeway Drive to be 4600 in 2010.
