League City sells TxDOT more land for $3.7M for Grand Parkway project
The backstory
Conceptualized in the early 1960s, the Grand Parkway is a proposed 180-mile circumferential highway that travels around the Greater Houston metro, according to previous reporting by Community Impact. The expansion project will extend the highway 14 miles from FM 646 in League City to south of FM 2403 in Alvin, TxDOT documents show. The project, titled “Section B-1,” is slated to start construction in 2027, according to previous reporting. According to TxDOT documents, the expansion will include construction for the following: • Four-lane tollway with discontinuous two lane frontage roads and interchanges • Two direct connectors at State Hwy. 35 • State Hwy. 99 mainlanes north of Grand Parkway • Four direct connectors at I-45 interchange
Just weeks after League City sold a parcel of land to the Texas Department of Transportation for the Grand Parkway project, City Council approved the sale of another parcel of land for $3.7 million, which borders where the city plans to build Pat Hallisey Park. The council voted unanimously to sell 15.8 acres of land currently owned by the League City Patrons of the Park Foundation to TxDOT at its Feb. 12 meeting. The sale is accompanied by an agreement that includes terms outlining the state’s obligation to preserve city drainage and acknowledge the future park’s development.
