Pedestrians on Bee Cave Parkway and Bee Caves Road will soon see safety improvements made to these streets following an agreement between Bee Cave and the Texas Department of Transportation, or TxDOT.

The overview

At a City Council meeting Mar. 25, an agreement between the city of Bee Cave and TxDOT was approved, which will implement push buttons, crosswalk striping, and sidewalk additions to Bee Cave Parkway and Bee Caves Road.

Bee Cave will be responsible for 10% of the $959,650 construction cost and will also contribute $280,000 to development of construction plans, which includes surveying and design services, according to city documents.

The details

According to a map of the project shared at the meeting, pedestrian sidewalks will be added to the south side of Bee Cave Parkway, from Market Street to Bee Caves Road. Additionally, a sidewalk will be added to the south side of Bee Caves Road from the exit near Starbucks to Tennison Hill Drive.

At the intersection of Bee Cave Parkway and Bee Caves Road, a striped crosswalk with a pedestrian push button and associated beacon will also be added.

What’s next?

The project must be put out for bid by Dec. 1, 2026, according to city documents.
