The city of Cedar Park will submit road projects and a trail connection project for consideration in a possible Williamson County roads and parks bond election. The projects include widening Whitestone Boulevard, extending Toro Grande Boulevard, widening Brushy Creek Road and extending the Brushy Creek Regional Trail. Williamson County is considering a roads and parks bond election for November. The Williamson County Citizen’s Bond Committee has asked Cedar Park and other cities to provide their top three transportation projects and any regional trail connectivity projects they want the county to consider including. After receiving information from cities, the Citizens Bond Committee and Williamson County staff will make recommendations to the Williamson County Commissioners Court on the need for a bond election and its potential financial size. The commissioners will then decide if they want to call a November bond election.
