Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
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 one (1) roadway easement, one (1) sidewalk easement and two (2) unobstructed visibility easement tracts for the public project known as Sidewalk - N. Eldridge Pkwy - 2022, for the purpose of sidewalk construction, UPIN 23103MF2RP01, Precinct 3.
end
Background and Discussion:
Design and construction of a 5' wide concrete sidewalk to include wheelchair ramps at all public street intersections, properly sloped driveways and retaining walls where steep grades require it. The project construction is funded partially by CDBG funding in the PY2023 cycle. All project development should anticipate following all grant requirements.
Roadway and sidewalk easements are required to allow enough room to build an ADA compliant sidewalk. The unobstructed visibility easements will allow enough visibility for right turn drivers to ensure safety for the drivers and pedestrian on the sidewalk.
Expected Impact:
The sidewalk will be utilized by the community providing sidewalk connectivity to Cortland Copper Springs Apartments, Estancia San Miguel Apartments, Eldridge Meadow Subdivision, local schools, and businesses.
Alternative Options:
Will not obtain the easements and the sidewalk and visibility will not be constructed or improved.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
X Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
