Board recommends City study school zone, renaming of HCR 1240 to 'Wildcat Road' near middle/high school
Summary
The board unanimously recommended the City of Whitney study a speed limit and establishment of a school zone for HCR 1240 — proposed to be renamed 'Wildcat Road' — to improve safety near the middle and high school.
Representatives from the City of Whitney asked the board to consider a school zone for HCR 1240 at the March 10 meeting. Billy Pribble of the City described a proposal to rename the roadway to 'Wildcat Road' and begin the process of determining an appropriate speed limit and school zone boundaries for the Middle School/High School corridor.
Trustee Jason Sneed moved to recommend that the City proceed with studying a speed limit and school zone for HCR 1240 (Middle/High School road); Trustee Katie Foster seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously to recommend the study. The motion was framed as a recommendation to the City — not an enactment of speed limit changes by the district — and the board recorded no additional conditions in open session.
The district’s minutes do not include engineering details, dates for a traffic study, or an implementation timeline; those steps appear to be at the City’s discretion pending coordination with the district.
