Description:

The proposed design includes both rural and urban sections. The urban section would include widening the existing FM 529 from a two-lane roadway to a six-lane roadway, with a raised median between SH 99 and Katy Hockley Cut Off Road, and this would also include a 10-foot shared-use path on both sides of the roadway. The rural section would include widening FM 529 to a four-lane roadway, with a raised median between Katy Hockley Cut Off Road and FM 362. Sidewalks are proposed within the rural section on both sides of the roadway.
