A series of improvements at the intersection of FM 1660 and Mager Lane is one step closer to beginning construction.

Signal modifications, right-turn lanes and a new wide sidewalk are all included in the project.

The improvements are required as part of the Durango Farms development and will be funded by the developer, MA Durango Farms LLC.

At a June 2 meeting, Hutto City Council voted to accept around 0.37 acres of right of way from the developer to accommodate the construction.

At the same meeting, council also approved a shared-use path agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC to allow sidewalk construction over an existing Oncor electric easement.
