Call to Action: MoPac South Comment Period

Rollingwood Residents and Businesses,

The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA) has proposed a design for the Mopac South Expansion Project that will have a significant impact on our community. Rollingwood is encouraging residents to submit comments to CTRMA in response to this proposed design that:

Eliminates the current northbound MoPac express lane entrance near 15th Street;
Eliminates the current access to Bee Cave Road from the southbound MoPac express lanes;
Proposes elevated bridges between Bee Cave Road and Barton Skyway, introducing considerably elevated noise and light pollution to our area;
Introduces significant traffic hazards for those accessing northbound MoPac from Bee Cave Road and exiting to Bee Cave Road from southbound MoPac, as drivers must crisscross with express lane entrances and exits;
Does not account for needed improvements to the Bee Cave Road and MoPac intersection; and
Has not been clearly described or presented in a way that affected parties can fully understand the proposed impacts on traffic flow.

The City of Rollingwood has released a Sample Template Letter (see attached word document and PDF versions below) to help our residents, businesses and surrounding neighbors craft comments that will meet their individual concerns. Please visit the CTRMA’s MoPac South Open House #6 website and the Rollingwood MoPac South Webpage for more information related to this proposed project. Additionally, attached below are the official comment letters submitted by the City of Rollingwood, the City of West Lake Hills and Eanes ISD during this comment period.

Comments regarding this project and the proposed design must be submitted to CTRMA by midnight on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, to be included in the official record. Official comments can be submitted by:
