During the Cedar Park City Council meeting on September 25, 2025, significant discussions centered around the Toro Grande Boulevard roadway improvement project, which aims to enhance transportation infrastructure in the area. The council considered a resolution to authorize an agreement with Liberty Civil Construction for the project's construction, with a budget not to exceed $25,197,028. This project is notable for its combination of aesthetic enhancements, including stamped concrete medians and LED lighting, alongside practical improvements such as a new four-lane corridor connecting key areas of the city.

Chris Birkey, the capital projects manager, presented the project details, emphasizing its funding through a mix of bond programs and interlocal agreements with Williamson County. The project aims to improve connectivity by linking the Toro Grande North section to the recently completed Hope West project and includes features designed to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility.

The council members expressed their support for the project, acknowledging the balance between cost and the quality of enhancements. While some concerns were raised regarding the contractor's experience, the overall sentiment was positive, leading to a unanimous vote in favor of the agreement.

In addition to the construction agreement, the council also approved a utility relocation reimbursement agreement with Atmos Energy, amounting to $1,588,678. This agreement is necessary to relocate existing high-pressure gas lines that interfere with the planned roadway improvements. The relocation is part of the broader effort to ensure that the infrastructure can accommodate future growth and development in Cedar Park.

Lastly, the council discussed the selection of an engineering consultant for ATANE grant project support, indicating ongoing efforts to secure funding and expertise for future infrastructure projects. The meeting underscored the city's commitment to enhancing its transportation network and ensuring that it meets the needs of its growing population. As these projects move forward, they are expected to significantly improve traffic flow and safety in Cedar Park.
