Background and Discussion:

Cypress North Houston Road is a road project which includes installing a traffic signal at Autumn Mill Lane to enhance traffic movement. The service outlet location statement is needed to establish electrical service with CenterPoint Energy to power the traffic signal.

 

Expected Impact:

Approval of the service outlet location statement will allow CenterPoint Energy to establish electrical service to the traffic signal, which is needed to enhance the operation of the intersection of Telge at Boudreaux Road.

 

Alternative Options:

All traffic signals require a power source, which is typically obtained through CenterPoint Energy. Alternative options are to place a generator, which is not reliable, or not installed/remove the traffic from the intersection. Both options pose a public safety concern and will impact the operation and increase delay of the intersection.
