The South Mays Gateway Enhancements project aims to improve the appearance throughout the South Mays Street corridor and provide a “gateway” into Downtown Round Rock. Extending from Logan Street to Hesters Crossing Road, the Gateway Enhancements will create not only an appealing vehicular experience, but a safe and enjoyable pedestrian experience as well. 

Improvements will include the removal of hazardous trees undermining overhead electric and, in turn, the addition of “Utility Approved” trees, screening of ground mounted utilities and dumpsters, replacement or repair of dilapidated fencing, a series of screen walls with incorporated branding and landscape areas, and new gateway signage near Hesters Crossing Road to welcome drivers and pedestrians into the South Mays corridor.

The majority of the project will be funded by the City of Round Rock, however Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) federal funding has been approved for the addition of shelters at each of the five Capital Metro bus stops located along the corridor.
