The scope of the project would include widening and reconstructing 2.4 miles of Dana Avenue from a 24-foot rural road to a 56-foot rural road within a usual 80-foot-wide right of way (ROW). The proposed road would include two 12-foot travel lanes, a 12-foot continuous left turn lane, two 10-foot shoulders, a 10-foot shared-use path for bicyclists and pedestrians, and a 6-foot-wide sidewalk. Drainage would be provided by a storm drain system. The project would include right-turn lanes at major intersections and schools. A 120-foot-wide ROW is proposed at a new bridge over the Resaca del Rancho Viejo, and at the existing bridge over Cameron County Drainage District’s Ditch #1 to improve approaches. In addition, approximately 300 feet of incidental construction would occur within the existing ROW south of FM 802 to ensure proper intersection alignment. A total of 7.97 acres of proposed ROW 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 CCRMA by calling 956-621-5571. No impacts to wetlands or Section 4(f) properties are anticipated. Section 4(f) properties are protected public-owned lands including parks, recreation areas, wildlife/waterfowl refuges and/or historic sites. The proposed project would involve an action in a floodplain.

Any environmental documentation or studies, any maps and drawings showing the project location and design, tentative construction schedules, and other information regarding the proposed project are on file and available for inspection Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the CCRMA office at 3461 Carmen Ave., Rancho Viejo, TX 78575. Call 956-621-5571 to schedule an appointment. Project materials are also available online on this webpage and on the CCRMA webpage. These materials will also be available in hard copy form for review at the in-person option.

The virtual public meeting and in-person option will be conducted in English and Spanish. If you need an interpreter or document translator because neither English nor Spanish are your primary languages or you have difficulty communicating effectively in one of these languages, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. If you need interpretation or translation services or you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend and participate in the virtual public meeting or in-person option, please contact CCRMA at 956-621-5571 no later than 4 p.m. CT, Jan. 29, 2024.
