The Texas Department of Trans- portation is seeking public input on a proposed change to a Hwy. 288 improvement project that will add a southbound frontage road from north of Rodeo Palms Parkway to north of Hwy. 6. TxDOT representative Ian McBride gave a virtual presentation March 1 on the proposed change. The project is a part of an ongoing bigger program to improve Hwy. 288 from Hwy. 59 near downtown Houston to CR 60 in Brazoria County, McBride said. After more detailed engineering design and drainage studies, a change was proposed to construct a two-lane southbound frontage road north of Rodeo Palms Parkway to just north of Hwy. 6, McBride said. Additionally, it would include the construction of one stormwater detention pond northwest of Hwy. 288 and Rodeo Palms Parkway and three
detention swales between the south- bound frontage road and main lanes, according to McBride’s presentation. The frontage road would be within the right of way TxDOT already owns for the project, McBride added. The proposed road project is con- sistent with the Houston-Galveston Area Council’s long-range 2045 Regional Transportation plan, McBride said. If approved, the $38 million frontage road project would be funded by federal and state sources, McBride said. Following the public comment period, TxDOT will nalize design and environmental documentation, which is expected to take three months, he said. TxDOT will receive public comments on this project until March 18, McBride said. TxDOT is in the process of identify- ing any potential negative eects to the area, McBride said, which include
