title
Request by the Commissioner of Precinct 4 for approval to accept from the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) grant funds in the amount of $999,000, with no required match, for the FY26 Innovative Finance and Asset Concession Grant Program (IFACGP) - North Westgreen Boulevard Corridor Alternative Delivery Viability Study.
end
Background and Discussion:
The scope of the Grant Agreement advances the North Westgreen Boulevard project, a nearly 11-mile regional corridor connecting communities in Cypress and Katy. The grant would fund four key pre-development activities - 30% corridor design, benefit-cost analysis, NEPA documentation, and evaluation of PPP / value-capture opportunities. This will establish a roadmap for advancing the project toward construction. The total project cost is $999,000. There is no match from Harris County Precinct 4.
The Office of the Commissioner, Precinct 4, requests approval for Harris County to accept the grant for the North Westgreen Boulevard project in the amount of $999,000 for the purpose of developing a plan to help provide regional mobility for the Cypress and Katy areas surrounding Westgreen Boulevard.
Expected Impact:
Westgreen Boulevard between Raintree Village Drive and FM 529 is a missing key Major Thoroughfare link within Precinct 4. The corridor will be assessed to determine if alternative delivery models are viable and develop a plan for the project. Implementing this project will improve roadway connectivity for area residents by removing traffic conflicts occurring along local roadways.
Alternative Options:
There are no alternative options identified.
