Background and Discussion:
This goal of this project is to design and construct approximately 4800 LF of recreational trail along the HCFCD channel T103-00-00 as well as a new pedestrian bridge over a HCFCD channel T103-000-01 within the Memorial MUD boundaries in Katy, Texas.
This agreement will provide professional services from the Engineer of Record for the completion of study and design phases.
Expected Impact:
This project would provide a Hike and Bike Path along the HCFCD Chanel which will connect several existing trails enhancing the mobility options for the non-motorized modes, safer and more efficient connectivity in addition to providing additional recreational opportunities for the surrounding communities; followed by developing improvement to address the safety, and mobility to each location to provide safer travel for pedestrians.

If no action is taken, the safety and mobility benefits associated with the proposed improvements will not be achieved, thereby depriving residents and pedestrians of the enhancements these improvements are intended to provide
