HAYS COUNTY – Hays County is planning for improvements to Hillside Terrace to improve mobility, safety and connectivity. The county invites the public to learn about and participate in a Virtual Open House for the Hillside Terrace Improvements project. The online open house, managed by contractor HNTB, will allow area residents and stakeholders to share input on the proposed improvements to Hillside Terrace, which include:
• Reconstruction and widening of Hillside Terrace as a three-lane roadway with a continuous center turn lane and shoulders from IH-35 to Old Goforth Road,
• Reconstructing and widening of Hillside Terrace with 5’ shoulders from Old Goforth Road to FM 2001,
• Intersection improvements to Hillside Terrace at IH-35 and Old Goforth Road, and
• Improvements to Old Goforth Road to improve connectivity from Buda to Hillside Terrace.
“Hillside Terrace is an important roadway in Hays County,” Hays County Commissioner, Pct. 2, Mark Jones said. “Reconstructing and widening the road will provide a safe and effective connection that will meet the needs of the growing community.”
