The proposed improvements to FM 1488 include:

• Converting the two-lane roadway between BUS 290 and US 290 to a four lane roadway 18 feet raised median with curb and gutter
• Widening the roadway from two lanes to four lanes, with 12 feet outside shoulder for future lanes and four feet inside shoulders
• Constructing 40-foot depressed grassy medians with openings at major intersections
