title
Request for approval of a certain project, decreeing the project to be a public necessity and convenience, directing the Harris County Real Property Division to acquire, for three (3) sidewalk easement tracts for the public project known as Telge Rd Segment 4 - from 1,650-ft North of Louetta Rd to 1,780-ft North of Telge Ranch Rd - 2014, for the purpose of roadway construction, UPIN 15104MF0DN02, Precinct 3.

Background and Discussion:
Harris County intends to provide improvements to Telge Road which will include 5-ft sidewalks on both sides of the street. Telge Road has an established ROW width of 120' throughout much of the project except for the area adjacent to Telge Ranch Section 1, which is only 109' ROW.

Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
X Transportation
