sh29The SH 29 Safety Task Force, formed to address safety and mobility issues and make recommendations for improvements on SH 29 from the Burnet County Line to DB Wood Road, presented their final report to Williamson County Commissioners on March 24.

Task Force members, which included emergency responders, school districts, local and state governmental entities, and planning personnel, reviewed construction documents, research, traffic and accident data research, made multiple project site visits, met with planning personnel from local agencies and individual property owners along the corridor, and reviewed information collected from open houses and e-mail sent to the County. They developed a list of 15 viable projects to improve safety and operational characteristics of SH 29, which were tiered in three priorities with an estimated total cost of $12.8 million ($5.9 million for high priority projects, $358,000 for medium priority projects, and $6.5 million for low-priority projects).
