LTISD and Travis County entered into an interlocal agreement Jan. 15 for the project, which includes the construction of a roadway and bridge between Hamilton Pool Road and Hwy. 71 to relieve traffic congestion. Once completed, the roadway will provide additional access to LTISD’s Bee Cave Middle School.
As part of the project, LTISD straightened Vail Divide to enter the middle school’s campus and realigned the roadway within the Bella Colinas neighborhood to create a new intersection now called Los Flores.
The district has requested acceptance from Travis County on Phase 4 of the project for ownership and operation. Prior to acceptance, LTISD must convey a small right of way and slope easement agreement for the county.
LTISD will also donate the land to Travis County per a warranty deed between both parties.
“We’re looking to turn that road and that area of the road over to Travis County,” LTISD general counsel Amber King said, adding Travis County will now be responsible for the maintenance of the roadway.
Both proposals were for discussion only, and board action will be requested at the July 15 regular board meeting.
