This comes as construction on the mixed-use project, The District, continues on the northwest side of the roadway, and Greenlawn Boulevard itself is widened to add another lane in each direction.
What you need to know
The Round Rock City Council gave approval for a first reading of a temporary speed limit change on a portion of Greenlawn Boulevard on Jan. 8.
City staff said the ongoing construction projects mandate a reduced speed limit to enhance crew and driver safety.
The details
The move would temporarily decrease the speed limit from 45 mph to 35 mph, if approved. The temporary speed limit would expire once construction is complete, and staff would need to reevaluate the corridor to determine what the best speed limit should be, city documents state.
What's next?
Council will consider the matter for a required second vote at a future meeting.
