Farm to Market Road 734 (FM 734) is a 19.3-mile (31.1 km) divided roadway located in Travis and Williamson counties of Texas. For most of its length, FM 734 is located just within the northern city limits of Austin, with portions located in Cedar Park, Leander, and unincorporated areas. The roadway is named Parmer Lane for the entire length of FM 734, but it is known as Ronald W. Reagan Boulevard along the extension to the north.
Beginning in 1947, FM 734 referred to a highway from Brady through Voca east to the Mason County line. The next year, FM 734 extended east to FM 386, now RM 386. In 1952, the designation was extended to SH 29 near Llano over a portion of RM 386. In 1958, the route was rerouted in Voca, shortening its length by 0.1 miles. The road designation changed to Ranch to Market Road 734 in 1961 and was rerouted south to 2.7 miles south of Brady. The old route was transferred to FM 2309. The designation was removed in 1966 when that highway was added to SH 71.
Parmer Lane between Loop 275 (Lamar Boulevard) and Loop 1 (Mopac Boulevard) was first designated as FM 734 in 1978. It extended north to RM 620 in 1981. The current termini of FM 734 were set in 1985, when the northern terminus was moved from RM 620 to RM 1431, and 1988, when the southern terminus was moved from Loop 275 to US 290.
