title
Request for approval to execute a Service Outlet Location Statement for installation of an electric meter with CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC and authorize the County Auditor to pay monthly bills for 25115 ½ Morton Ranch Road, Katy, Texas 77493 (intersection of Morton Ranch Road and Old Katy-Hockley Cut-Off Road/Old Town Trail) for electrical power serving a traffic signal, ePermits Project Number: 2411140188, Precinct 4.
end
Background and Discussion:
As part of the development in the area, a traffic impact analysis was conducted and submitted to Harris County Permits for review and approval. The aforementioned performed analysis warranted a traffic signal at the intersection of Morton Ranch Road and Old Katy-Hockley Cut-Off Road/Old Town Trail, which the developer committed to construct.
Expected Impact:
Approval of the service outlet location statement will allow CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC to provide electrical service to the traffic signal, which is needed to enhance operations of the intersection of Morton Ranch Road and Old Katy-Hockley Cut-Off Road /Old Town Trail.
Alternative Options:
All Traffic Signals require a power source, which is typically obtained through CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC. Alternative options are to place a generator, which is not reliable, or to not install traffic signals at the intersection. Both options will negatively impact operations and increase delay of the intersection.
