What we reported

A weeklong planning and design meeting was held by the city of Georgetown and the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization in November. The process, known as a charrette, was open to the public and was a part of the nine-month comprehensive study of the Williams Drive corridor that began in summer 2016.

The latest

The city hopes to begin drafting concept plans and recommending projects at the end of the study that will provide short- and long-term goals to enhance safety, mobility and connectivity along the roadway. The study is set to wrap up in mid-2017 and will be presented to the city and CAMPO for adoption.

What’s next

The city is currently in the middle of the study and finished with the charrette process. The city will go through a technical review over the next few months and will complete the study shortly after. Multiple short and long-term plans will be presented that will improve traffic and safety, according to Morgan.
