Georgetown/CAMPO Transportation Planning

The City has on it's council agenda for January 26, a very important activity entitled;

Consideration and possible action to approve a Scope of Work and Interlocal Agreement with Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) for the Williams Drive Study.

This plan will result in recommendations to the city council guiding the development along and around Williams drive for the next 25 years. The plan will have two elements, the Corridor Plan and the Centers Plan.

1. Corridor Plan – Development of a context-sensitive corridor plan for several miles on Williams Drive, which addresses access management strategies, multi-modal transportation elements, safety and operational improvements, and recommendations for a private realm built-form that supports different modes of transportation and a sense of place. 

The following chart shows the scope of the Corridor Plan.

2. Centers Plan – Development of a plan for a vibrant mixed-use center and gateway along Williams Drive from an area south of Austin Avenue to Lakeway Drive, consistent with the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan and special taxing district and land use overlays. This includes development concepts for a mixeduse catalytic project on the Georgetown ISD site.

This chart shows the scope of the Centers Plan.

A massive public outreach is to be developed as part of this plan. It will be vitally important to the citizens of Georgetown to participate in the outreach when it is implemented if they want to have a voice in how this very important part of Georgetown is developed.
