1. University Boulevard is a critical corridor. When Tract 5 develops, we will have far more people living, working and visiting the area. Why aren’t you investing more to improve this vital corridor?

Traffic impact studies and analysis have confirmed that this project addresses the current and future needs of the University Boulevard corridor, including the future development of Tract 5. The total project cost is approximately $3.4M with Fort Bend County contributing approximately 50% of the total construction cost approved in the 2017 Fort Bend County Mobility Bond Project.

2. What is the cost breakdown of the proposed roundabout included in the bond package? Why is the proposed round-about on First Colony $2.5 million?

The project includes the extension of the existing Soldiers Field Rd. to SH6, which is approximately 1,100 ft. and a roundabout at the intersection of Soldiers Field and First Colony. The project also includes associated drainage improvements for the roadways and necessary water and wastewater line extensions. The detailed cost breakdown will be available once the design is completed. All project estimates are generated using the City’s cost database which is developed by past construction projects in the City and the region.

3. Why aren’t the improvements on University Blvd continuing North? Why wouldn’t we do it all at once?

Studies on the identified area have not identified or justified further improvements but it can be evaluated for inclusion in future bond elections.
