Hutto ISD to lead design of traffic signals near Creekside High; city to reimburse up to $306,256.59
Summary
Trustees approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Hutto and authorized negotiation of a Local On-System Agreement (LOSA) with TxDOT for traffic-signal and turning-lane improvements on FM 1660 tied to the new Creekside High School; the city will reimburse 78.8% of eligible costs up to $306,256.59.
Hutto ISD trustees approved two related agreements May 28 to address traffic impacts from the district’s new Creekside High School.
The board first approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Hutto under which Hutto ISD will lead the design and construction of a traffic signal at Main Hippo Drive and FM 1660; the city agreed to reimburse 78.8% of the eligible project cost subject to a reimbursement cap of $306,256.59. The presenter said the city council had already approved the ILA on May 7.
Trustees then authorized the superintendent to negotiate and execute a Local On-System Agreement (LOSA) with the Texas Department of Transportation to permit construction on the state highway system (FM 1660). Administration explained the LOSA covers additional improvements — including a left-turn lane and right-turn lane and a second intersection identified as Fire Five Point — and that TxDOT approval and permitting is required before work can proceed.
The board approved a resolution delegating authority to the superintendent to finalize the LOSA and noted the district will manage bidding and construction while coordinating TxDOT review.
