Staff says TxDOT HSIP grant will fund Bee Cave Parkway sidewalk and crossings; BCDC share about $376,000
Summary
Staff said a TxDOT HSIP grant will fund an 8‑foot concrete sidewalk and enhanced crossings along Bee Cave Parkway from the Sonesta/Market Street area to the H‑E‑B shopping center and Tennyson Hill; TxDOT will let construction on Dec. 1, 2026, and the BCDC's combined share is about $376,000 (includes 10% match and engineering).
A staff presenter updated the board on the 2025 Bee Cave Parkway sidewalk and pedestrian crossing project, which is funded by a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant administered by TxDOT. Staff described the project scope as constructing an 8‑foot concrete sidewalk with enhanced crossings along Bee Cave Parkway from the Market Street/Sonesta area past the H‑E‑B shopping center and to Tennyson Hill.
The presenter said 90% plans were due in mid‑July, that BCDC is coordinating with the public utility authority because valves and water/sewer lines run under the proposed sidewalk alignment, and that TxDOT will administer construction (the project is scheduled to be let by TxDOT on 2026-12-01). From a BCDC standpoint, the presenter said the combined cost (including the 10% match and engineering) expected from the corporation is about $376,000.
Board members asked whether coordination with the Public Utility Authority (PUA) was a new activity; staff said coordination was intended to avoid surprising the utility provider and would not change the project cost materially. No action was taken other than the update and scheduling details.
