Mr. Gamble informed the group that their desire to take control of the effects of growth in the area would prevent them from experiencing many of the traffic problems that are occurring in the northern Travis and Williamson Counties. He explained that the TxDOT plans would include addressing the traffic issues that are unique to the area. Proposed HOV lanes are planned for the southern portion of Travis County just north of Buda. This would allow for easier access to downtown Austin.
Light rail is also apart of the plan.
The group was informed that the plan also included ramp relocations and improvements to interchanges. Why the study boundaries do not include Kyle, Texas. There is projected growth of approximately 10,000 homes in the Plum Creek Subdivision. SH 45 needs to be developed through Hays County to IH 35. The group feels that construction of 130 is critical to the area.
