Old Town Southeast & San Jose Neighborhood Sidewalk Imp. in Georgetown, TX

The City of Georgetown completed the installation of approximately 4,300 linear feet of 5-foot ADA-compliant sidewalk, 1,600 linear feet of 8-foot and 10-foot ADA-compliant sidewalk, pedestrian ramps, and crosswalk striping along Maple Street, 15th Street, and San Jose Street. This new construction project, valued at $1,150,000, covers a total area of 37,500 square feet in the Old Town Southeast and San Jose neighborhoods. TDLR closed the project file in June 2025, marking the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.

Project Scope and Cost

Registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in June 2025, the project began construction in May 2024. The filing indicates a scheduled completion date of July 2025. KPA Engineers served as the design firm of record, while Steven E Rinehart acted as the registered accessibility specialist. The project involved public funds and public land, fitting within the broader infrastructure improvements managed by the city.

The estimated cost of $1,150,000 places this project above the median estimated cost of $850,000 for new construction filings in Bell County. The scheduled build window of 402 days is longer than the county median of 242 days. However, the cost per square foot of $31 is below the county median of $150 per square foot. These figures are derived from 1,375 TDLR-registered new construction filings in the county, including 214 registered in the last 24 months.
