Title
Accepting a Gift Deed for a 0.36-acre tract of land located in Lot 6, Block 3, Stone Hill Town Center in the City of Pflugerville, Travis County, Texas in order to facilitate future intersection improvements on Town Center Drive at Limestone Commercial Drive.
Summary
City staff approached the developer of Stone Hill Town Center, NewQuest Properties, about the congestion concerns associated with this intersection and opportunities to work together to improve it. Traffic counts have been collected and indicate that the intersection warrants a traffic signal. The purpose of the additional right of way is to accommodate the traffic signal and a dedicated right turn for incoming traffic from FM 685 to Limestone Commercial Drive.
