Morgan McElwain of engineering firm Friese & Nichols presented the September update on the Parker County Transportation Bond program, summarizing design and construction status across multiple precincts.
"I'm here to do the Parker County Transportation Bond update for September," McElwain said, and then outlined precinct highlights: Church Road right‑of‑way acquisition and utility coordination are underway; paving and storm‑drain work are progressing on Midway and Thomas; Stewart Street signal hardware is in place and the intersection is expected to be functional in coming weeks once power is connected; Hutchison Road is at about 60% design; and town‑hall meetings for the thoroughfare plan begin next week.
McElwain also reported continued coordination with the Council of Governments and TxDOT on additional 2027 funding and permitting. Commissioners asked timing questions for projects handled by TxDOT; staff explained TxDOT's letting and advertising depend on utility relocation and final design milestones. No formal vote was required for the informational update.
