NOW OPEN! 🤩 The paseo from Main Street through to the library is officially open, y'all. The outdoor area adds additional pedestrian space and enhances connections in the downtown area.
This project is part of the overall remodel of the Griffith Building (old library), which is also scheduled to open very soon, and will house a new art gallery, visitor's center and the Round Rock Chamber.
City employees going above and beyond for our community! 💪🎄 While delivering Blue Santa gifts today, members of Round Rock's Parks and Recreation team stopped to help push a resident’s disabled vehicle more than a quarter mile along Mays Street and US 79. Huge thanks to these incredible employees for showing what it truly means to care for the community they serve.

⚠️UPDATE⚠️ The public continues to be asked to avoid the area of US 79 and IH-35 as roadways remain closed until further notice to allow crews to complete cleanup efforts.
Testing on the scene confirmed the material spilled was kerosene, which was being transported in a 275-gallon industrial container.
Air monitoring has confirmed there is no ongoing risk to the public. Round Rock Fire Department crews safely contained the spill and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has been notified for cleanup.
