Project Updates and Milestones

Sidewalk Gap Improvements Update

The sidewalk improvement projects, Old San Antonio Drive and Cabela's Drive were presented to the Buda Bonds Oversight Committee (BBOC) on Jan. 22, 2024, and to City Council on Feb. 6, 2024. After evaluation and feedback, the sidewalk gap along Old San Antonio Road was removed from the scope of work.

The sidewalk gap along Cabela's Drive is at 90% design level and engagement with property owner(s) for dedication of easements is underway.

Old Black Colony Road

The 30% preliminary design for the Old Black Colony Road Reconstruction project was finalized in February. City Council reviewed the revised preliminary design and approved of the proposed design.

Final design is anticipated to begin by the end of this month.

City Park Parking Lot

The contractor, Harris Road Company, began construction of the parking lots in late-January 2024. Base material has been placed, and forms are being set. The project team expects completion in May 2024, weather permitting.

Austin Street Reconstruction

Geotechnical work was done on Austin Street mid-March to give the project team a better understanding of the area and to better inform the preliminary design process. Preliminary design is on track to be complete in the Spring with final design beginning this Summer.
