Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Round Rock public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Kenney Fort Boulevard, Segment 5 right-of-way acquisition
The city wants to use eminent domain to take 1.082 acres from the Estates of Settlers Park Owners Association and 0.051 acre from the Dixon family to build the Kenney Fort Boulevard Segment 5 widening. It's a key north-side road project, but it means acquiring private property over the owners' objection if negotiations fail.
Gattis School Road Segment 2 Right-of-Way Acquisition
The city acquired necessary right-of-way for the Gattis School Road Segment 2 improvement project, which will widen the road to four lanes and add a shared-use path.
Transportation Capital Improvements Program Funding Amendment
Round Rock is adding $15.5 million to its Type B road program to buy land for Kenney Fort Boulevard and Wyoming Springs Drive extensions. City staff say adjustments elsewhere in the capital program helped offset the cost, keeping overall spending steady.
Public Transit Services
Staff provided an update on public transit ridership, noting strong demand for the Round Rock Rides on-demand service while announcing a forthcoming transit master plan to evaluate fixed routes and future contract options.
