Council approves interlocal with Hays County to fund traffic signal at East Main and Firecracker
Summary
Council authorized an interlocal agreement with Hays County to fund a traffic signal at East Main and Firecracker Drive. Buda's share is $173,097, with $100,000 from an approved FY24 CIP allocation and $73,097 proposed from the FY25 general fund.
Development services staff told council that multiple traffic impact analyses showed the East Main and Firecracker intersection warrants a signal due to long queues and frequent queuing during peak hours and dispatch operations. Senior project engineer Blair Mearsky said the city's share would total $173,097, with $100,000 already in the FY24 CIP and $73,097 proposed for FY25.
Council members said they were pleased the item was not buried in consent and welcomed the relief a signal should provide. "This area is long warranted," Mearsky said, and council voted to authorize the city manager to execute the interlocal agreement with Hays County.
