Cardinal Hills ROW Improvements
Street/R.O.W. improvements on Lawrence Drive from Lariat Trail to Sutton Drive in the Cardinal Hills Estates subdivision. The improvements would pave Lawrence Drive to Sutton Drive since the paving currently stops at Lariat Trail. Furthermore, the project would include paving the short area of Lariat Trail along the soccer/sports fields at Hudson Bend Middle School for parking during sporting events (depending upon eligibility and tieback to area benefit analysis and overall project scope and cost). The project will be completed in two phases. The first phase, funded with PY24 grant funds, includes design services and environmental assessment, and possibly partial construction. Construction will be completed during the second phase of the project with PY25 grant funds.
McKinney Falls Parkway Affordable Housing Development
This project provides funds to the Travis County Housing Finance Corporation for the purpose of purchasing land at 6609 McKinney Falls Parkway to develop affordable rental housing.
Home Rehabilitation Program
This project helps eligible owner-occupied households make critical repairs that improve safety, sanitation, and energy efficiency in their homes. The Home Rehabilitation Program provides grants of up to $24,999 for essential rehabilitation work such as septic system installation or repair, electrical or plumbing upgrades, and water service connections to reliable sources. Rehabilitation may also complement weatherization or other energy-efficiency services offered through partner programs. The program serves low- and moderate-income homeowners in the Travis County CDBG service area to move homes toward Housing Quality Standards.
Completed Projects
All Inclusive Park
This project will build an inclusive playground at Southeast Metro Park in Travis County, Texas. An inclusive playground uses universal components to create an area of play that supports the cognitive, physical, sensory, visual, and auditory needs of all children. While the playground will be specifically accessible to children with specialized needs, it will also be available for use to all residents of the area. The project will be implemented by the Travis County Parks Department.
Austin’s Colony Street Improvements
The sidewalks in this neighborhood were built to pre-ADA standards and have not been accepted by Travis County TNR for road maintenance. The roads in this subdivision are not adequately maintained causing accelerated neighborhood roadway deterioration. This project would include removal and replacement of existing sidewalks, driveways, intersection sidewalk ramps, and pavement overlay to achieve ADA compliance and repair roadway to acceptable standards for maintenance.
Forest Bluff Street Improvements
Removal and replacement of existing sidewalks, driveways, intersection sidewalk ramps, and pavement overlay to achieve ADA compliance, and repair right-of-way to acceptable standards for County maintenance. This project will be phased over multiple program years. PY19 funding would include design and environmental clearance.
Kennedy Ridge Wastewater Improvements
Improvements to divert a portion of the wastewater system with a new low-pressure sewer main which would avoid the high elevations of the Kennedy Ridge Estates Subdivision Sections 1 and 2, reducing static pressure at the individual sewer services. This project will be phased over multiple program years. PY19 funding would include design and environmental clearance.
