Transportation Tidbits

Who knew that the City of Georgetown has a Master Transportation Plan?

As a result of completion of the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (CAMPO) 2035 Transportation Plan, the City of Georgetown has updated the City’s Overall Transportation Plan (OTP). This update occurred in 2015 and is therefore somewhat dated, but, it is still the guidance used by the City.

Here is the overall map for Georgetown:

One item of interest to the author is the designation of the Southwest By-Pass as a proposed freeway. It is indicated by the purple dashed line and runs from I 35 near the Inner Space cave to Williams Drive. The southern most section is nearing completion. The next proposed section will connect to Hwy 29. No word on when the section between Hwy 29 and Williams Drive is to be completed.

A related project is to turn Hwy 195 into a freeway. That means overpasses and limited access.

Changes are coming!
