Background and Discussion:

The project includes the construction of approximately 11,400 LF of 6 ft wide sidewalks along both sides of Woodforest Boulevard. The project limits are from Redstone Street to Freeport Street. A section of the proposed sidewalk crosses Equistar Chemicals pipeline easement and Harris County has requested a letter of no objection. Equistar Chemicals has agreed to provide the letter of no Objection but requested a signed copy from Commissioner’s Court.

 

Expected Impact:

This action allows the continuation of the contracted work and provides pedestrians a continuous sidewalk path.

 

Alternative Options:

No action will result in substandard construction and prevent sidewalk continuity.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing                     

_ Public Health
