The Lago Vista City Council meeting on July 17, 2025, focused on the approval of the Travis County Safety Action Plan, which includes a request for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to examine speed limits along Highway 1431 near Sunset Park.

During the meeting, council members discussed the potential benefits of implementing a lower speed limit in conjunction with the addition of a turn lane on the highway. Council member Eric West noted that while there are advantages to reducing speed limits, gaining TxDOT's agreement can be a lengthy process due to their requirement for extensive studies.

Council member Benfield proposed a motion to approve the resolution with a stipulation for TxDOT to review the speed limits in the specified area. This motion was seconded by council member Prince, who suggested that the wording be amended to request TxDOT to consider all recommended actions related to Highway 1431, not just the speed limit.

The council unanimously approved the motion, which now includes the amendment to broaden the request to TxDOT. This decision marks a significant step towards enhancing safety measures on Highway 1431, reflecting the council's commitment to addressing traffic concerns in the community.
