Background and Discussion:
Ralston Acres is in northeast Harris County, Precinct 1. The project site is generally bounded by Greens Bayou (P100-00-00) to the west, Spicewood Ln to the north, CE King Parkway to the east and the Beaumont Freeway (Business US 90) to the south. The local drainage system is composed of roadside ditches less than two feet deep and driveways culverts. The proposed improvements include the design of an enclosed storm sewer system with a shallow swale above along John Ralston Road. The project also includes a wet bottom detention basin to mitigate adverse impacts not only for the Ralston Acres project but also for a portion of the Houmont Park Drainage Improvements project proposed to the north and east of subdivision. This agreement will provide Professional Services from the Engineer of Record during construction phase.
Expected Impact:
This project seeks to reduce flooding and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the Ralston Acres community. No impact on project schedule or cost anticipated.
