C o n r o e FOUNDERS
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Houston District, is proposing improvements along FM 830 from Old Montgomery Road to SH 75 in Montgomery County, Texas. This notice advises the public that the project team will be conducting an online virtual public meeting on the proposed project with an in-person option. The virtual public meeting will be available on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. To log onto the virtual public meeting, go to the following web address at the date and time indicated above: www.txdot.gov, and type “FM 830 From Old Montgomery” in the search box at the top right corner of the webpage. The virtual public meeting will consist of a pre-recorded video presentation and will include both audio and visual components. Please note that the presentation will not be available on the website until the time and date listed above. If you do not have internet access, you may call 713-802-5560 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, to ask questions and access project materials during the project development process. Formal comments may be provided by mail or email as explained below. Additionally, TxDOT is providing an in-person option for individuals who would like to participate in person. In-person attendees will be able to view the same presentation delivered in the virtual public meeting, review hard copies of project materials, ask questions of project staff, and leave written comments. The in-person option will be held on Thursday, May 26, 2022, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Robert B Brabham Middle School, 10000 FM 830, Willis, TX 77318. The proposed improvements would widen FM 830 (Seven Coves Road) from two to four lanes from Old Montgomery Road to SH 75. The proposed design includes a 5-foot wide sidewalk along the south side of the roadway corridor and a 10-foot wide shared use path along the north side. The project is approximately 2.5 miles in length with 120-foot wide existing right of way along FM 830. Acquisition of approxi- mately 30 feet of new right of way along the majority of the project limits (approximately 5.3 acres) would be required. Although additional right of way would be required, no residential or non-residential structures are anticipated to be displaced at this time. Information concerning services and benefits available to affected property owners and information about the tentative schedule for right-of- way acquisition and construction can be obtained from the TxDOT Relocation Assistance Program by calling 713-802-5000.
The proposed project would involve an action in a floodplain.
Any environmental documentation or studies, maps and drawings showing the project location and design, tentative construction sched- ules, and other information regarding the proposed project are on file and available for review Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the TxDOT Houston District Office, 7600 Washington Avenue, Houston, Texas 77007.
