What are your thoughts on the safety of Burnet County roads?
The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is forming a 20-plus-year plan to improve the safety of Burnet County’s roadways, including two concerning intersections, and wants to hear from residents before moving forward.
CAMPO is accepting public comments through Friday, March 14, on its developing Regional Safety Action Plan, which addresses major safety concerns on roads and highways in the six capital area counties.
The RSAP lays out a multi-decade roadmap that is updated every five years, and community input is crucial to that process, according to CAMPO.
“The plan aims to reduce and eventually eliminate fatal and serious-injury crashes while improving transportation systems for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, public transportation users, and drivers,” reads a CAMPO report on the RSAP.
The plan’s exact goals are to reduce the number of those crashes by half by 2035 and completely eliminate them by 2050.
The current RSAP identified the Texas 29-U.S. 281 intersection and RR 1431-U.S. 281 intersection as disproportionately responsible for serious accidents in Burnet County. The stretch of U.S. 281 between Burnet and Marble Falls as well as several sections of Texas 29, RR 1431, and U.S. 183 within county limits are also points of concern.

Hwy 29 East to 183 needs turning lanes and better shoulders. Repeat repeat repeat.! How many times do they need a survey or hear our comments?!
