About the projects
The city of Round Rock is working on improvements to Harrell Parkway, including constructing a bridge and pedestrian walkway. The project, at a cost of $28.3 million, will also build a connection between Harrell Parkway and Kenny Fort Boulevard.
The Lakeview Pavilion area also has renovations in the works. Project features include a new pavilion, overlooking the lake and planned stage, with a price tag of around $13.4 million.
The renovations are on schedule, Director of General Services Chad McDowell said. Construction on Harrell Parkway is slated to begin in October and wrap up in under a year.
What they’re saying
“This is pretty amazing that we have new pedestrian walkways that we can walk across, we have overpasses that we can walk across,” McDowell said at an Aug. 6 City Council packet briefing. “There’s more of a controlled environment out there where it’s going to make it a safer park for everyone.”
