title
Request for approval to execute an interlocal agreement with the State of Texas, acting by and through the Texas Department of Transportation, for a Local On-System Improvement Project, Intersection Improvement - Westgreen Boulevard at IH10 - 2021, UPIN 221033961530012, Precinct 4, Justification for 0% MWDBE Participation Goal: N/A - project was awarded prior to launch of County's M/WBE Program.

Background and Discussion:
The project will be adding a left turn lane and a right turn lane at the intersection with interstate highway 10 service road. It will also add vehicle storage space to an existing left turn lane as well as upgrading pedestrian ramps and pedestrian audible push buttons. The service road is within TxDOT Right-of-Way and a Local On-System Agreement is required for construction. An agreement was already approved on September 19, 2023, but TxDOT updated their agreement forms, and we must resubmit for approval.
Expected Impact:
The project seeks to improve traffic operations at the intersection. The project also seeks to upgrade the existing pedestrian facilities to improve pedestrian mobility. The approval of this Local On-System Agreement will allow for the County to construct the improvements of the project.
Alternative Options:
Not approving this Local On-System Agreement, which will prohibit construction of the project improvements. Not being able to construct the improvements will result in maintaining the current traffic operations and pedestrian accessibility conditions of the intersection.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
X Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
