Hays to develop Road Character Plan
Friday, October 10, 2014 by Mark Richardson
Hays County officials are planning a meeting to develop a Roadway Character Plan for FM 150, from near Arroyo Ranch Road northwest through Driftwood to RR 12 in Dripping Springs. County Commissioners Will Conley and Ray Whisenant will host the meeting to share information about the roadway and gather ideas from the public about the cross-county road as changes are phased in to improve mobility and safety. Improvements are expected to be phased in over 10 to 20 years. The meeting is set for Oct. 16 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Thurman’s Mansion, 17900 FM 1826 in Driftwood. The presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m. Go online for more information on the Roadway Character Plan, or contact Concept Development & Planning at 512-533-9100.
