Commissioners approve renaming multiple county roads to Tucker Parkway in Precinct 3

Williamson County Commissioners Court held a public hearing Sept. 22 and approved changing portions of three county roads in Precinct 3 to a single name: Tucker Parkway.

Commissioner Covey said the change would unify County Road 255, the relevant portion of County Road 289 and Daniels Trail from County Road 254 to Ronald Reagan Boulevard to simplify addressing and improve response for first responders. "The Tucker family has owned this land back in 1800s and was an important part of this area," the commissioner said when describing the chosen name. The county reported landowners were consulted during the process and staff will coordinate sign changes.

The hearing closed with no further public comment and the court approved the name change by voice vote, 5-0. Staff said signs will be installed as soon as possible and GIS checks will be performed to avoid duplicate names elsewhere in the county.
