Residents are invited to take part in public meetings hosted by the Texas Department of Transportation to learn more about potential routes for the northern portion of the Hwy. 36A project.
The proposed highway aims to provide a road for large trucks to travel from Port Freeport to reach major highways and distribute freight in North Texas, Fort Bend County Commissioner Andy Meyers previously said.
What residents need to know
The public meetings will present a range of alternatives for the project segment from I-10 west of Katy to Hwy. 290 west of Waller, officials said in a June 26 news release.
Public meeting dates include:
- July 14, 5-7 p.m. at Royal Early Childhood Center gymnasium
- July 16, 5-7 p.m. at Waller County Fairgrounds in Edmonds Hall
The meetings will allow residents to give their input on the project, including more specific locations for the highway and potential environmental concerns due to construction in wetland areas, per the release.
Also of note
The meeting materials will also be available online beginning July 14 at 5 p.m. and those unable to attend in-person meetings can submit comments by July 31 through mail or email, per the release.
Remember this?
TxDOT held similar meetings for the southern portion of Hwy. 36A between FM 1994 south of Needville to I-10 West in Katy last August, Community Impact previously reported.
