Executive Summary |
||||
|
In a partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the City has completed the first two phases of landscape beautification along U.S. Highway 59 that extend from U.S. 90A to State Highway 6. The City of Sugar Land Urban Beautification Policy, adopted by Resolution 98-39, supports the U.S. Highway 59 beautification. Additionally, the Parks and Recreation Department has existing conceptual plans for this project that have consensus of the City Council per the 7/03/01 City Council meeting. Phase III of the U.S. Highway 59 beautification project will extend from State Highway 6 past the University Boulevard intersection. The design is similar to the first two phases – large masses of trees and shrubs along the overpasses and groupings of trees along the highway. The new plantings will be irrigated with drip irrigation. The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting that the Funding Resolution be approved for the construction of U.S. Highway 59 Beautification Phase III. Funding for the project is available in the current CIP Project PK0902. |
