Background and Discussion:

This project consists of upgrading Holderrieth Road to a standard four (4) lane concrete boulevard in 100-foot ROW with a 20-foot raised median and underground storm sewer system for the limits from Hufsmith-Kohrville Rd to Sir Alex Dr - 2017,connecting the existing Champion Forest pavement sections.  The project includes two (2) detention basins, interlocal agreements with developers and Municipal Utility Districts, sidewalks, right-way acquisitions, utility relocations and street lighting. This project was a part of redistricting from Precinct 4 to Precinct 3.  As a result, while the study phase for the project began in 2017, completion of the study phase was completed in 2026 due to its reclassification and re-scoping. 

 

Expected Impact:

The project will improve the east-west vehicular mobility for the local community, connecting the Champion Forest existing road sections to major thoroughfares and state highways.

 

Alternative Options:

Without this project, this road segment will continue operating under the current conditions without the improved 4 lane configuration.

County Strategic Plan Goal:  2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.

County Strategic Plan Objective: F: Ensure safety and security for all using the county’s transportation network in alignment with the County’s Vision Zero plan.

Justice/Safety Initiative (Goal 1):  N/A

Infrastructure Initiative (Goal 2):  F1: Strengthen the County’s commitment to Vision Zero principles and goals.

Economy Initiative (Goal 3): N/A

Health Initiative (Goal 4): N/A

Climate/Resilience Initiative (Goal 5): N/A

Housing Initiative (Goal 6): N/A
