HAYSCOUNTYn Dripping Springs, D&S Concrete Contractors and Volkert Engineering created a new 1.125-mile shared use sidewalk on Sawyer Ranch Rd. to provide a safe walking, hiking and bikeway between the High Pointe Community, Sycamore Elementary and Middle Schools and the Belterra Community.
This is a 10-foot sidewalk that allows room for pedestrians and cyclist. This sidewalk is one way to provide safety for the community since the opening of the Sycamore Springs Elementary School in 2017. Approved by voters in the 2016 Road Bond, the project has been completed and is now available for use.
Hays County Commissioner Walt Smith, Pct. 4, created a virtual ribbon-cutting video to mark the occasion, which can be seen on the county’s YouTube channel using this link.
Smith said he is pleased about the completion of the shared-use pathway.
“This sidewalk project enhances the access to and connectivity between these communities,” Pct. 4 Commissioner Walt Smith said. “Kids can now more safely bike or walk to school.”
