AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action to approve a resolution to accept the transfer of the jurisdiction
and maintenance from the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) to the City of Georgetown for
Business 35 (Austin Avenue) from FM2243 (Leander Road) to FM2338 (Williams Drive)
ITEM SUMMARY:
In June 2003, the City adopted the Georgetown Master Plan (the "Master Plan'), and Austin
Avenue is the primary thoroughfare through downtown Georgetown. The Master Plan identified the
existing, traditional highway design standards proposed by TxDOT for Austin Avenue to be possible
impediments to pedestrian circulation, and considered the bridge crossings over the San Gabriel Rivers to
have historic significance.
The City favors preservation rather than TxDOT's proposal for replacement. The City requested
that TXDOrs proposed improvements be limited to maintenance and consideration of requested
improvements.
TxDOT has proposed to transfer jurisdiction and maintenance of Austin Avenue from FM 2243
(Leander Road) to FM 2338 (Williams Drive) to the City, after it performs needed rehabilitation
improvements and has requested a Resolution from the City adopting tle proposal.
The City desires to accept TxDOT's transfer of jurisdiction and maintenance of the subject section
of Austin Avenue to preserve its current configuration through the downtown Georgetown area.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.

None.

Austin Avenue Proposed Project Improvements
• Limits of transfer. From FM 2243 to FM 2338
• Existing roadway will receive a mill, seal and overlay
• Curb inlet openings will be improved
• Deteriorated curb and gutter will be replaced
• Existing pedestrian ramps at intersecting streets will be upgraded to meet ADA
requirements

rural (non -curbed) section. Striping modifications, as just defined, are dependent on
the City acquiring ownership of an existing service station located on the east side of
BU 35 between Valley Street and FM 2338.
