Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Georgetown public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Wolf Ranch Parkway expansion and eminent domain
The city will widen Wolf Ranch Parkway from SH 29 to Rivery Boulevard, adding lanes, a raised median, turn lanes, a shared-use path, and a roundabout at Memorial Drive. After the Wolf Ranch HOA stopped responding to offers, the council authorized eminent domain 5-1 to acquire the needed land.
Memorial Drive and Wolf Ranch Parkway intersection
This project has a complete phasing plan separating the roadway from the shared-use path, with 100 percent plan comments sent back to the engineer and the water pollution abatement plan approved. Utility conflicts and right-of-way issues are still being worked through.
SH 29 West widening (IH-35 to Wolf Ranch Parkway)
TxDOT is paying for design while the city puts up $9.5 million in GTEC funds for construction. All right-of-way has been acquired and TxDOT's let date is June 2026, so construction is close to starting.
Austin Avenue Corridor & Downtown Schematic Designs
A TxDOT-managed project from Leander Road to SE Inner Loop, partially funded by GTEC, that has been approved for $10 million in federal STBG money for fiscal year 2030. Design is well along, with 90 percent plans reviewed.
Intersection Management and Traffic Improvements
