Concerns over U.S. Highway 290 boiled over Thursday as residents packed into Dripping Springs City Hall to express their opinions to county and state officials in a town hall meeting meant to address safety improvements.

Officials called for the meeting after ten people died in vehicle accidents on U.S. 290 last year.

More recently, two people died March 2, 2017, in a head-on collision and an Austin resident died March 16, 2017 after losing control of his motorcycle.
