WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED?

According to Sec. 26-101(c) of the City of Killeen Code of Ordinance, a Minor Arterial road shall have a Pavement Width (ft.) of 48-73 and a Right-of-Way Width (ft.) of 100. Independent testing found Featherline Road had a maximum Pavement Width of 31. In most cases it was 29.

Featherline Road does not meet Code of Ordinance requirements for Minor Arterial Pavement Width.

From 2018 to 2019, there was major subdivision development and completion for Yowell Ranch. This caused a spike in crashes (Total: 23). From 2020-2022, COVID-19 caused a reduction in travel. In 2023, Chaparral High School opened which led to another spike in crashes (Total: 32).

In 2024, Dr. Jimmie Don Aycok Middle School will open along with two new Gas Stations / Convenience Stores. Featherline Road traffic is expected to significantly increase.

Featherline Road lacks dedicated sidewalks, bicycle lanes, safety barriers, and proper drainage. High Traffic Volume and higher than average crash rates increase risk to pedestrians and motorists.
