When:
Thursday, Sept. 6, 2018
Open House: 5:30 p.m.
Public Hearing: 6:30 p.m.
Purpose:
The purpose of the public hearing is to gather public input on the proposed widening of FM 723 from Avenue D to FM 1093 in Fort Bend County, Texas. Engineering displays and environmental documents will be available for viewing at 5:30 p.m. The formal hearing starts at 6:30 p.m., and comments must be received on or before Sept. 21, 2018, to be a part of the official record.
Description:
Proposed improvements to FM 723 include the following:
- From Avenue D to south of the Brazos River bridge:
- Widen from two to four 11-foot lanes
- Add 5.5-foot sidewalks on both sides
- From north of the Brazos River bridge to FM 1093:
- Widen from two to four 12-foot lanes
- Add 6-foot sidewalks on both sides
- Add 12-foot shoulders
- Add an 18-foot raised median with intermittent median openings and left-turn lanes
- Brazos River bridge would not be modified
The proposed 9.23 mile project would require 100 acres of additional right of way. The proposed project would require one displacement of a utility building; however, the proposed project would not require the displacement or partial acquisition of any commercial or residential structure.
