The first phase will stripe bike lanes on sections of Brushy Creek Road, Buttercup Creek Boulevard, Little Elm Trail and New Hope Drive. Phase 1A is expected to complete in spring 2021. Road widening is not required for the project, and the city will create and install the bike lane signage, according to the city.
Cedar Park City Council approved an agreement in a 5-1-1 vote with Council Member Rodney Robinson in dissent and Council Member Tim Kelly abstaining.
The agreement with D.I.J Construction Inc. includes pavement marking, and it is to not exceed $220,000. The contractor's cost proposal was $127,037.40, so any remaining budget will be used in Phase 1B of the bike lane project, said Stephen Hanuscin, the city's assistant director of public works.
The process for striping bike lanes began in 2018. The Cedar Park Community Development Board (4B Board) and City Council approved funding for the first phase of the project in its fiscal year 2018-19 budget. Engineering was completed for the project in 2019, and designs were completed in 2020.
