Purpose:
The purpose of the public meeting is to present the proposed project to the public and receive comments. The project is proposing improvements along FM 1314 from Ferne Dr. to SL 494 in Montgomery County, Texas. The virtual and in-person meeting will consist of the same narrated presentation by the project team, project exhibits and other information, and an opportunity to comment. Comments must be received on or before Monday, Feb. 28, 2022, to be a part of the official meeting record.
Description:
The proposed improvements would improve mobility and enhance safety by constructing a 16-foot-wide raised median with left-turn lanes along approximately five miles of FM 1314 from Ferne Drive to SL 494. The proposed improvements would also include the installation of upgraded vehicle detection systems at several signals and raised pavement markers. The project would take place within existing right of way and no displacements are anticipated.
Special Accommodations:
The virtual public meeting will be conducted in English and Spanish. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English or Spanish are not your primary languages or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English or Spanish, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs.
