Hillcrest Road reconstruction design nears completion; utility coordination underway
Summary
Balcones Heights staff said Hillcrest Road reconstruction plans are about 90% complete and utility (SAWS) plans about 60% complete; staff are coordinating with CPS and AT&T and pursuing right‑of‑way acquisitions with affected businesses and residents.
Community development staff told the board that Hillcrest Road reconstruction is well into design, with roadway plans at roughly 90% and SAWS utility plans at about 60%.
"Road plans are at a 90. SAWS plans are at a 60," Nick said, adding that staff are coordinating utility design with CPS and AT&T and are in the "thick of" right‑of‑way acquisition discussions with businesses and residents along Hillcrest. He said the city is working through utility payments and design coordination while moving toward acquisition of affected property and easements.
Board members did not set a construction date during the meeting; staff said the next steps would be continued coordination with utilities and property owners, and design completion followed by acquisition negotiations.
