Council approves Southwest Collector alignment to relieve Highway 71

Bee Cave City Council approved revisions to the city's Thoroughfare Plan on March 24, 2026, settling on Option 3 for a Southwest Collector connecting Hamilton Pool Road to local streets with one signalized intersection at the Bee Cave Elementary driveway. Council also removed Shops Parkway as a primary collector because it is privately owned, and added two neighborhood collectors between Bee Cave Parkway and the Skaggs Drive extension. Traffic engineer Mallory Scates cited the Vail Divide extension, which cut Hamilton Pool Road volume from 17,821 to 15,474 daily trips between 2022 and 2023. More updates are expected through the Our Bee Cave 2037 comprehensive plan process.
