Sugar Land officials seek grant for elevated rail On Jan. 7, Sugar Land City Council approved applying for the Rebuilding American Infrastruc- ture with Sustainability and Equity grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation for its proposed gondola-like elevated cable and rail system. The project was announced in October as the feasibility study was underway, Community Impact reported. The details The project planning, design and engineering is expected to cost $12 million , according to agenda documents. The city could receive $9.6 million in funding with a 20% local match at $2.4 million . According to agenda documents, the city would use funding for project planning, including: • Environmental and equity analysis • Community engagement
Missouri City to streamline hearings Missouri City council approved an ordi- nance March 3 to set public notice require- ments for joint public hearings by council and the Planning and Zoning Commission for zoning regulation amendments. The details The hearings aim to provide continuity in information and prevent decision-making delays as the city updates its comprehensive plan, officials said. The ordinance would also allow P&Z to issue its recommendation report at the same or a subsequent hearing, while City Council will have to wait until a subsequent meeting to vote on a proposed change, officials said. The city will soon host an open house and a questionnaire before providing its compre- hensive plan draft report in March.
The city of Sugar Land is seeking a federal grant to add an elevated rail system in the city.
