AND SO, UM, WE'RE EXCITED THAT TDOT'S COMING HERE TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE GRAND PARKWAY PROJECT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S A PROJECT, YOU KNOW, LEAGUE CITY HAS BEEN INTERESTED IN FOR DECADES.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE WORKED ON KEEPING A CORRIDOR CLEAR FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH US ON THAT WE'VE BEEN TO, TO, UH, TO AUSTIN A NUMBER OF TIMES, TRYING TO KEEP THE PROJECT MOVING FORWARD.
AND SO I THINK WE'VE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS ON THAT.
WE'RE EXCITED THAT, AGAIN, THAT TDOT'S HERE.
THE FORMAT TONIGHT, UM, IS MR. SHIRLEY FROM TXDOT WILL DELIVER A SHORT PRESENTATION AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION.
HE'LL OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, AND YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE AT THE FRONT OF THE ROOM AND ASK QUESTIONS OR PROVIDE COMMENT.

AGAIN, PLEASE WAIT TO THE END OF THE TEXT STOP PRESENTATION TO ASK YOUR QUESTIONS OR TO PROVIDE COMMENT.
YOU KNOW, I, ALONG WITH CHRISTOPHER SIMS WILL ALSO BE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND LISTEN TO YOUR FEEDBACK.
SO WITH THAT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP TO, TO FOR THE TDOT PRESENTATION.
JUST A COUPLE HOUSE RULES, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
LIKE I SAID, MUTE THE, I MADE SURE AND I STOPPED DOING.
LET ME MUTE THE, MUTE THE PHONE DOWN.
SO, UM, IF YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT AGAIN, WE'LL, WE'LL DO QUESTIONS HERE AT THE END.
UH, WHAT WE PLAN ON DOING THIS EVENING IS I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF PROJECT OVERVIEW AS A WHOLE.
UH, I WANT TO SHARE A FEW OF THE PROJECT RISKS AND CHALLENGES, UH, THAT'LL BE A PART OF THE PROJECT, SO YOU CAN KIND OF GET A FEEL FOR WHAT WE SEE AS ENGINEERS AND CONSTRUCTORS.
UH, I KNOW A BIG QUESTION A LOT OF PEOPLE'S MINDS IS SCHEDULE.
SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT SCHEDULE, WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHERE WE'RE GOING, UH, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
WE GOT ONE UP HERE CALLED CHANGES ON THE HORIZON.
I WANT TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A BIGGER PICTURE THAT'S ABOVE AND BEYOND THE, UH, ACTUAL PROJECT IN AND OF ITSELF.
UH, AND THEN THE, THE LAST THING, AND THIS IS THE TEASER, IS HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE PROJECT.
IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT JUST MAGICALLY HAPPENS.
THERE'S SOME STUFF THAT CAN BE DONE.
AND REALLY, QUITE FRANKLY, FOR THE BUSINESS OWNERS, UH, WE WANT TO, UH, BE SURE AND GIVE YOU SOME THOUGHTS AND IDEAS AND, UH, SPARK SOME CREATIVITY.
SO, FIRST THING, FIRST THINGS FIRST.
UM, THE GRAND PARKWAY IS ABOUT 180 MILES.
THE TOTAL SYSTEM, UH, WE'VE GOT THE, AROUND ABOUT A HUNDRED MILES OVER.
SO COMPLETED FROM WHAT WE CALL SEGMENT, D-E-F-G-H-I ONE, AND I TWO OVER IN CHAMBERS, UH, AND, UH, SOUTHEAST HARRIS COUNTY.
SO SEGMENT B ONE, AS WE CALL IT, UH, WILL BE FROM LEAGUE CITY TO ALVIN.
UH, IT'S ABOUT A 14 MILE STRETCH.
UH, THERE WILL BE FOUR, UH, FOUR DIRECT CONNECTORS AT 45.
THERE'LL BE TWO DIRECT CONNECTORS OVER AT 35.
UH, IT'S GONNA BE A FOUR LANE TOLLWAY, SO TWO LANES, EASTBOUND, WESTBOUND, OR NORTHBOUND SOUTHBOUND.
SO WE GOT ALL THE DIRECTIONS COVERED.
THE ESTIMATED, UH, COST IS ABOUT 1.6 BILLION, IS CONTRACT COST, UH, 1.96 BILLION.
UH, AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND DEAL WITH THE QUESTION.
EVERYBODY'S LIKE, WELL, IS THAT TAXPAYER THERE? THAT'S TOLL, THAT'S TOLL REVENUE.
[00:05:01]
BE A TOLL FUNDED PROJECT THAT IS PAYING FOR THIS.THERE'S A LITTLE STATE FUNDED PIECE, BUT IT'S A SEPARATE PROJECT WE'LL TALK ABOUT HERE IN A LITTLE BIT.
WHAT WE'RE DOING IS CALLED A, UH, I WANNA TALK ABOUT THE CONTRACT THAT WE'RE DOING.
IT'S CALLED A DESIGN BUILD CONTRACT.
IT IS NOT THE TRADITIONAL CONTRACT THAT Y'ALL HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH THROUGHOUT THE YEARS IN THE AREA.
THOSE ARE TRADITIONAL OR DESIGN BID, BUILD.
WE ACTUALLY, WE GET IT TO A CERTAIN POINT WE CALL SCHEMATIC.
WE KIND OF PUT THE FRAME AROUND IT AND DRAW A LINE, MUCH LIKE YOU SAW WHEN YOU WALKED IN.
AND THEN WE PUT IT OUT TO NOT BID, BUT WE'RE DOING QUALIFICATION BASED SELECTION ALONG WITH PRICE.
IT'S AN A PLUS B, AND THEY WILL ACTUALLY DO FINAL DESIGN.
SO THERE'LL HAVE TO BE A LOT OF DESIGN DONE.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER BEFORE THE CONSTRUCTION CAN GET STARTED.
MOST TIME WHEN YOU SEE THE BARRICADES GO UP, ALL THAT DESIGN TOOK PLACE, TWO, THREE YEARS IN ADVANCE.
THIS WILL BE GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME.
WE WILL GET ENOUGH DESIGN STARTED TO START BUILDING AND KEEP DESIGNING UNTIL WE RUN OUTTA DESIGN, AND THEN WE RUN OUT THE CONSTRUCTION.
SO IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, UH, NEEDS AND PURPOSE.
UM, LOT OF, LOT OF GOOD THINGS UP HERE.
BUT WE DO WANNA IMPROVE THE, UH, THE LINKAGE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS. UH, ACCOMMODATE A, A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT, LIKE THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH THAT IS HAPPENING IN THE AREA.
UH, YOU LOOK AT ENHANCING MOBILITY, ECONOMIC GROWTH, AND THINGS ALONG THAT LINES ARE SOME OF THE NEEDS AND PURPOSES OF THE PROJECT.
SO, GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A, I CALL IT A CARTOON.
I ACTUALLY, I GOT A DIFFERENT CARTOON LATER, BUT THIS IS EFFECTIVELY WHAT THE PROJECT WILL LOOK LIKE.
SO WE'LL HAVE THE TOLL ROADS IN THE MIDDLE, AND A LOT OF IT AS WE GO UP AND OVER THE, THE CROSS STREETS, IT'S KIND OF A TIGHT RIGHT OF WAY.
SO WE'LL HAVE, UH, RETAINING WALLS OR WHAT WE CALL MSE WALLS, MECHANICALLY STABILIZED EARTH.
SO THAT'S KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE WILL BE THE, THE TWO PLUS TWO, AS WE CALL IT.
AND WE HAVE, WE CALL IT DISCONTINUOUS FRONTAGE ROADS.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE IS PROBABLY MORE LIKE THE ON AND OFF RAMPS.
WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF FRONTAGE ROAD ACROSS THE GREEN FIELD, AND OF COURSE, 35, UH, ALREADY EXISTS AND IT'LL BE, IT'S FRONTAGE ROAD OVER THERE.
BUT THIS IS EFFECTIVELY WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.
DON'T ASK ME WHERE THIS IS AT.
IT'S A PRETTY PICTURE THAT SAYS IT'S A TYPICAL CONFIGURATION.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HIGHWAY IS, WHAT COUNTY, OR EVEN WHAT STATE IT'S IN, BUT THAT'S EFFECTIVELY WHAT IT'LL LOOK LIKE, UH, ACROSS THE GREENFIELD.
UH, SO WHEN I SAY DISCONTINUOUS FRONTAGE ROADS, NOTICE THERE'S NOT A FRONTAGE ROAD THAT GOES FROM ONE INTERSECTION TO THE NEXT.
SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE RISK AND CHALLENGES.
OF COURSE, UTILITY RELOCATIONS ARE ALWAYS A CHALLENGE ON A PROJECT.
NOW, FOR THE MOST PART IN THE, UH, GALVESTON COUNTY SIDE OF THE LINE, THE LEE CITY SIDE OF THE LINE, IF YOU WILL, IT'S IN A GREEN FIELD.
SO MAIN THINGS WE GOTTA DEAL WITH ARE PIPELINES AND SOME TRANSMISSION LINES.
CONSTRUCTION, PHASING, IT'S GONNA BE A TRICK THAT'S MORE OF A TRICK OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTY LINE, MINIMIZING RAILWAY SERVICE.
WE'VE GOT BNSF RAIL, UH, IS OVER IN THE ALVIN AREA.
TRAVELING IMPACTS, OF COURSE, THERE'LL BE SOME DURING CONSTRUCTION.
WE WANNA MINIMIZE THOSE AND TRY TO ACCOMMODATE BUSINESS NEEDS.
UH, THEN, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT IT IS IF YOU DRIVE ANY PART OF THE, THE TOLL FACILITY, NOW YOU'LL NOTICE THAT SOME OF THE TOLL PLAZAS, I'M GONNA CALL 'EM COOKIE CUTTER, THEY MAY ALL LOOK ABOUT THE SAME.
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES TO THIS PROJECT IS BECAUSE OF THE TIGHT RIGHT OF WAY.
NOT EVERY SINGLE TOLL PLAZA IS GOING TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE EVERY OTHER, PROBABLY MORE THAN HALF OF THEM.
WE'VE GOTTA MOVE AROUND SOME OF THE STUFF TO HAVE THE TOLL PLAZA HERE, BUT THEN ALL THE EQUIPMENT IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
SO IT'S A BIT OF A CHALLENGE FOR THE DESIGNERS, UM, WITH UTILITIES, AND THESE ARE SOME NUMBERS FROM ABOUT A YEAR AGO, BUT JUST UP AND DOWN THE 35 CORRIDOR ROUND, ABOUT OVER 450 DIFFERENT UTILITY CONFLICTS THAT WE ANTICIPATE THAT HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH.
UH, THE BIG GREEN LINES ARE TRANSMISSION LINES, ELECTRICAL POWER, IF YOU WILL.
AND THEN YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT, BUT THERE'S SOME LITTLE YELLOW LINES OR, OR PIPELINES CARRYING VARIOUS DIFFERENT WHATEVER'S IN THEM.
UM, ON YOUR RIGHT, MY LEFT, UM, OVER TOWARDS HOBBS, WE'VE GOT A GANG OF 11 PIPELINES THAT WE GOTTA GET ACROSS.
AND THEN OVER HERE, RIGHT BY THE COUNTY LINE, WE GOT A GANG OF SEVEN.
SO, UH, DEFINITELY ADDS TO SOME OF THE CHALLENGES AND THE MULTIPLE CROSSINGS AND RUNNING ALONGSIDE THE PROJECT AS WELL.
UH, OVER IN THE 45, UH, I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT.
WE, WE STOPPED LOOKING AT 45 FOR A PARTICULAR REASON, BUT AT THE TIME IN DECEMBER, WE HAD ROUGHLY ABOUT 159 UTILITY CONFLICTS IN THE 45 AREA, UH, THAT WE'D IDENTIFIED.
SO THIS PROJECT WILL ACTUALLY BE TWO, TWO CONTRACTS.
ONE, THE DESIGN BILL THAT WILL RUN FROM 6 46
[00:10:01]
ALL THE WAY BACK TO 35.AND DOWN 35 WILL BE THE DESIGN BUILD.
THE BRIDGE IS GOING UP AND OVER 45 AS A TRADITIONAL CONTRACT.
IT WILL BE ABOUT TWO YEARS BEHIND THE DESIGN BUILD.
BUT GIVEN THE TIMEFRAMES, THEY SHOULD BE OPENING AT THE SAME TIME SO THAT WHEN WE OPEN A TOLL, THEN THE DIRECT CONNECTORS BE READY TO RECEIVE US.
BUT THEY'RE GONNA BUILD AT 45.
THEY'RE GONNA RUN ALONGSIDE, LIKE, SO IF YOU WERE OVER THERE RECENTLY, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE HIBERNIA BANK HAS BEEN RAISED R-A-Z-E-D, IT'S BEEN LEVELED, UH, THE SEVEN 11 GAS STATION.
AND THE TAKE FIVE OIL CHANGE WILL LOOK LIKE THAT IN A FEW MONTHS.
SO OUR BRIDGES WILL BE OVER THE TOP OF WHERE THOSE BUSINESSES WORK.
WE WILL NOT BE OVER THE TOP OF 6 46.
WE WILL CROSS 6 46 TO GET INTO THE GREENVILLE AND TAKE OFF.
THERE WILL BE FRONTAGE ROADS THAT TIE IN FROM CALDER TO 6 46.
WE TALK ABOUT THAT ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND BUSINESS NEEDS AND SUCH.
THOSE TWO POINTS OF CONTACT WITH 6 46 WILL PROVIDE ANYBODY THAT'S COMING FROM, LET'S SAY MAPLE LEAF WESTLAND RANCH, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO GET TO THE ECONOMIC ENGINE THAT IS AT 6 46 AND 45.
BECAUSE OTHERWISE, IF THEY STAYED ON THE MAIN LANES, THEY HIT THE DIRECT CONNECTORS ON 45.
AND GOOD LUCK HEADING UP A COUPLE MILES BEFORE YOU CAN GET A TURNAROUND, RIGHT? SO THIS, THIS KEEPS SURFACE LEVEL, UH, CONNECTIONS HAPPENING.
SO THAT, THAT'S FACTORED INTO OUR DESIGN.
THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME AND, UH, JUST NOTICED SOMETHING OTHER.
SARAH, BEFORE WE POST THIS, WE GOTTA UPDATE.
SO, UH, THE, THE BLUE LINE, OF COURSE IS 99 AND THE BIG GREEN BLOB IS ALL THE DEVELOPMENT'S GOING ON, THE SUBDIVISIONS AND SUCH.
THAT'S GONNA CONTINUE TO HAPPEN WHILE WE'RE WORKING.
THE NUMBER THREE IS FM FIVE 17.
WE GOT A LET DATE OF DECEMBER OF 27.
IT'S, UH, IT'S A LITTLE FURTHER OUT.
WE'LL GET THAT FIXED AND BEFORE WE POST IT UP TO THE WEBSITE, WE'LL GET THAT DATE FIXED.
BY THE WAY, DISCLAIMER, GOD, I'LL THROW IN A DISCLAIMER.
ANY AND EVERY DATE AND NUMBER YOU SEE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
SO LET'S DO THAT THIRD PARTY DEVELOPMENT.
IT'S ALL THE SUBDIVISIONS AND THE BIG BOX STORES.
WHATEVER'S COMING, THERE'S A LOT OF GREEN SPACE OUT THERE FOR, FOR DEVELOPMENT.
OUR MAJOR THIRD PARTY STAKEHOLDERS, OF COURSE, ARE THE ECONOMIC ENGINES THAT OCCUR, UH, IN THESE VARIETY OF DIFFERENT AREAS, AS WELL AS THE, UH, BNSF RAIL.
NOW THIS IS WHERE YOU KIND OF, KIND OF TAKE AND PUT ON YOUR PICTURE, UH, IN YOUR MIND, AND YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS LATER 'CAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE IT FROM WHERE YOU'RE AT.
I KNOW THERE'S A WEBSITE, IT SHOULD BE ON THE HANDOUT.
OR YOU CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF THE QR CODE HERE TOWARDS THE END OF THE PRESENTATION.
IF YOU TAKE THIS BOTTOM AND ROTATE IT, THAT'LL BE THE GREENFIELD.
AND IT TELLS YOU WHERE THE TOLL PLAZAS ARE AT.
SO THE TOW PLAZAS, AS YOU GO ACROSS THE GREENFIELD STARTING ON THE EAST SIDE, THEY'LL BE ON THE EAST SIDE.
SO THEY'LL BE ON THE EAST SIDE OF CALDER.
UH, WE SKIP OVER HOBBS, BE ON THE EAST SIDE OF LANDING, EAST SIDE OF BAY AREA.
THEN WE'LL HAVE A SET OF MAINLINE PLAZAS BETWEEN BAY AREA AND MAPLE LEAF.
AND WHEN WE GET TO THE WEST SIDE, IT'LL BE THE WEST SIDE OF MAPLE LEAF, MCFARLAND, LONGFELLOW AND WEST.
SO IT'S WHAT I CALL THE CROSSBOW INTERCHANGE.
SO THEY'RE GONNA BE ON THE WEST SIDE AND ALSO THEY'RE AT GEORGETOWN PARKWAY.
AND THEN AS YOU RUN DOWN 35, UH, THERE'S ANOTHER SET OF FIVE AND A HALF PAIR.
THERE'S SIX PAIRS OF TOLL PLAZAS IN THE GREEN FIELD, AND FIVE AND A HALF, BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY GONNA BUILD ONE ON THE FAR SOUTH END BECAUSE OF PHASING OF THE PROJECT.
SO WHERE ARE WE AT? SO BACK IN JANUARY WE POSTED A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS.
SO THIS ISN'T JUST A LOW BID JOB.
WE WANT THE BEST OF THE BEST CHASING THIS JOB.
THE PROPOSALS CAME IN IN IN MARCH AND APRIL.
WE SHORTLISTED, UH, WE GAVE 'EM A DRAFT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PRICE AND TECHNICAL SEPTEMBER THEY GOT THE FINAL RFP.
SO WE WORKED WITH THE INDUSTRY TO TIGHTEN UP AND FIND A FEW PLACES WE COULD IMPROVE THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
AND FROM SEPTEMBER THE FIFTH UNTIL THE END OF FEBRUARY, I'VE GOT 180 DAYS TO GET UNDER CONTRACT BY, BY STATUTE.
SO WE'RE MOVING, WE'RE, WE'RE ON THAT TRACK END OF FEBRUARY.
I NEED PRICES AND TECHNICAL PROPOSALS.
END OF APRIL, WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL CONDITIONAL WARD.
SO I'VE GOT THREE PROPOSERS AND I GO, YOU GOT THE BEST SCORE AND QUALIFICATIONS, YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA GET IT, BUT WE GOTTA HAMMER OUT A FEW THINGS.
SO BETWEEN THE END OF APRIL AND JULY, WE'LL HAMMER OUT THOSE FINAL
[00:15:01]
DEALS IN ORDER TO, TO SIGN OFF ON THE CONTRACT.NOW, THEN THE SCHEDULE BEYOND THAT, WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT, UH, AS WE MOVE INTO IT.
SO THIS IS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT, UH, EARLY IN THE EVENING, I WAS WALKING AROUND VISITING WITH SOME FOLKS.
THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, UH, WHEN, WHEN ARE THEY GONNA START WORK? SO THE WORK, YOU'LL, IF YOU'RE OVER IN THE ALVIN SIDE, BECAUSE THE GREENFIELD'S KIND OF, NOBODY CAN REALLY SEE THAT OVER IN THE ALVIN SIDE.
YOU MAY SEE SOME DRILL RIGS DOING GEOTECHNICAL BORINGS THAT WILL BE KIND OF OCCURRING IN THE SUMMER AND FALL OF 26.
UH, THEY'LL BE WORKING ON THEIR DESIGNS, MAY DO SOME SILT FENCE, MAY DO SOME TREE REMOVAL, BUT BY 27 WE'RE GONNA BE KICKING DIRT.
YOU'RE GONNA START SEEING THE BULLDOZERS AND THE DUMP TRUCKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO, BUT THE EARLY PART THAT WHEN THEY'RE GETTING STARTED, THEY'RE DOING SITE INVESTIGATIONS SURVEYING, DOUBLE CHECKING THE HAZMAT SITES, UH, AND DOING SOME SUBSURFACE, A FEW OTHER ITEMS. WE'VE GOT THE BNSF RAILROAD AGREEMENT, UH, EXECUTED.
BUT THE CONTRACTOR'S GOT A CERTAIN, THEY GOTTA GET SKIN IN THE GAME.
SO THEY GOT CERTAIN THINGS THAT THEY GOTTA DO TO SATISFY THE RAILROAD WITH THE DESIGN GOING ON OVER THERE.
SO THEY'LL HAVE TO WORK THROUGH CHRIS TO GET SOME STUFF DONE.
SETTING UP FIELD OFFICE, LAY DOWN YARDS AND SUCH.
YOU SAY, OKAY, WELL WHEN DO THOSE BULLDOZERS SHOW UP? SO AS WE GOT HERE, WE CALL WHAT WE CALL N NTP ONE NOTICE TO PROCEED.
NUMBER ONE IS CONTRACT EXECUTION.
WE'RE THINKING JUNE POSSIBLE, BUT IT'S MORE LIKELY PROBABLY JULY.
AND THEN BETWEEN THERE AND THE NEXT 90 TO 120 DAYS, THEY'LL BE DOING, WE'LL BE DOING A LOT OF PAPERWORK, GETTING THAT ALL STOOD UP.
N NTP TWO IS WHEN THEY ARE RELEASED.
ONCE WE APPROVE OF THEIR PLAN, THE ONE THAT WE SIGNED THE CONTRACT WITH, THEN THEY, THEN THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET OUT IN THE FIELD AND START STIRRING DIRT.
SO IN THE FALL, THEY'LL START SEEING SOME OF THAT.
THEY'LL TURN IN THEIR DESIGNS, WE'LL START REVIEWING AND APPROVING THE FINAL DESIGNS.
AND THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO GET OUT THERE AND START, UH, START ACTIVITIES.
UM, AND AS I'VE GOT NOTED HERE ON THE VERY LAST LINE IS THAT WE, WE WILL NOT KNOW THE TRUE ACTIVITIES UNTIL WE GET THEIR SCHEDULE.
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY, WELL, WHERE ARE THEY GONNA START? WHERE ARE THEY GONNA START? WELL, IT'S, IT'S A MATTER OF PRIORITY VERSUS OPEN SPACE.
SO I'LL GIVE YOU A COUPLE DIFFERENT EXAMPLES.
I WAS TALKING TO A COUPLE OF THE LADIES IN THE BACK EARLIER.
SHE'S, WELL, ARE THEY GONNA START HERE? I WON'T KNOW UNTIL I'VE GOT A SCHEDULE.
I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE 35 CORRIDOR FROM DAY ONE TO DAY 1820 OR 2100, WHATEVER THE NUMBER OF DAYS, THE PRIMARY, THE, THE PRIORITY'S GONNA BE ON THE 35 CORRIDOR.
WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT INTERNALLY, THE EIGHT MILES ACROSS THE GREENFIELD COULD ACTUALLY START A YEAR LATE.
AND ALL THAT WORK COULD STILL GET FINISHED AT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO DO THE FIVE OR SIX MILES UP AND DOWN 35.
'CAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH ACTIVITY PHASING AND SUCH.
SO WHERE'S PRIORITY VERSUS OPEN PHASE? WHEREVER THERE'S PRIORITY OR AN OPEN SPACE LIKE THIS IS, UH, SOUTH OF KROGER OR THE YMCA ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ALVIN BYPASS.
THIS IS A GOOD AREA WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT OPEN SPACE.
YOU KIND OF SEE THE WHITE LOOKS LIKE A SPIDER WEB.
THAT'S WHERE TRAFFIC IS TODAY.
THEY'RE GONNA STAY THERE AND WE CAN BUILD WHAT, THREE DIFFERENT FACILITIES ON EITHER SIDE OF THEM BEFORE WE DO A TRAFFIC SWITCH.
SO THIS IS WHAT I CALL AN OPEN SPACE OPPORTUNITY.
GIMME ENOUGH DESIGN, YOU CAN GO GET STARTED BUILDING THERE.
THERE'S SO MUCH HAPPENING AT THE BNSF RAIL, HOUSE, STREET, STATE, HIGHWAY SIX, THE WALMART, IF YOU WILL, RIGHT IN THAT AREA.
THE TRAFFIC CURRENTLY IS GOING UNDERNEATH THE BRIDGE.
AND GUESS WHAT? THAT OLD RAILROAD BRIDGE IS GOING.
IT'S 60 YEARS OLD AND IT'S TIME FOR IT TO BE PULLED OUT.
SO EVERYTHING WILL, WHEN WE GET DONE, EVERYTHING WILL GO UP AND OVER THE RAILROAD AND THAT, THAT SAG WILL GET FILLED IN.
IT'LL BECOME DETENTION PONDS THAT WILL DRAIN AND WE WILL PUT THE RAILROAD TRACK BACK ON GRADE.
IT WILL NO LONGER BE ON A BRIDGE.
SO THERE, THIS IS A CRITICAL PATH AREA.
THERE'LL BE A LOT GOING ON RIGHT HERE.
SO WORK HAS GOT TO GET STARTED THERE, LIKE ON DAY ONE IF YOU WILL.
BUT THEY GOTTA GET ALL THE DESIGNS DONE AND HAVE THE RAILROAD SIGN OFF ON IT.
SO IT DEPENDS ON PRIORITIES, PRIORITIES, UH, AND OPEN SPACE.
UM, SO WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? I, KENNETH, YOU DO THIS STUFF.
YOU CAN VISIT IN, IN YOUR MIND'S EYE.
WELL, LEMME GIVE YOU SOME PICTURES, WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE.
[00:20:01]
YOU KNOW THAT, THAT'S KIND OF OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, SO TO SPEAK, OVER ON YOUR RIGHT.UH, BUT THIS IS MORE OF A CITY ENVIRONMENT.
SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE BARRELS AND BARRIER WALLS AND SIGNAGE.
IT'S GOING TO BE VISUALLY BUSY.
IT WILL BE VISUALLY BUSY, UH, ESPECIALLY UP AND DOWN THE 35 AREA.
WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WHAT IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE ON THE LEAGUE CITY SIDE OF THE GAME HERE IN A SECOND.
BUT THIS IS, THIS, THIS PHOTO ON, ON YOUR LEFT IS ACTUALLY DOWN THE STREET FROM OUR DISTRICT OFFICE IN HOUSTON.
SO YOU SEE THE, WHAT WE CALL LOW PROFILE CONCRETE BARRIER.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT, AT, UH, DROPPING THE, THE SPEED LIKE OVER ON 35.
SO THE BUSINESSES CAN COME IN AND OUT OF, AND HAVE THE LOW PROFILE IMPROVE VISIBILITY AND SAFETY AND SUCH AS WE WORK ON ONE SIDE, TRAFFIC'S ON THE OTHER.
SO AT SOME POINT IN TIME, IF YOU'RE OVER IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH, UH, YOU KNOW, I WAS TALKING TO SOME FOLKS, THEY SAID ALL THE ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES ARE OVER THAT WAY.
IT'S GOING TO KINDA LOOK LIKE THIS, UH, FOR A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME.
SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL COME IN THOSE TWO LANES, WE'LL SET IN A, A LOW PROFILE, UH, WE'LL GET IT ALL EXCAVATED OUT AND THEN WE'LL SEND THE CARTOON CHARACTERS IN THERE TO REBUILD IT.
AND THEN OF COURSE WE'LL SWITCH AND DO THE OTHER SIDE BECAUSE THAT PAVEMENT THAT IS FROM FM 5 28 ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 24 0 3, AGAIN, IT'S ROUGHLY ABOUT 60 YEARS OLD.
IT'S CRACKING UP, IT'S BRAKING.
SO IN ADDITION TO BUILDING THE TOW ROAD, WE'RE GONNA COMPLETELY REBUILD 35 THROUGH THE BYPASS.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, WHILE, WHILE YOU'RE IN THERE, WE'RE GONNA GET, GET IN.
WE, WE HAVE A PHRASE THAT I LEARNED YEARS AGO IN CONSTRUCTION.
GET IN, STAY IN, GET OUT, STAY OUT.
SO WHAT WE'RE DOING OVER THERE IS WE'RE GOING TO, WE'RE GONNA TAKE CARE OF A LOT OF THINGS.
WE'RE GONNA BUILD THE TOW ROAD, WE'RE GONNA REPLACE 35.
AND THEN THERE'S A LITTLE PIECE OF THE PROJECT NORTH OF THE 35 INTERCHANGE THAT, UH, IS A STATE FUNDED PIECE.
WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THAT PROJECT, WE PULLED IT IN, WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT A PART OF MY DESIGN BUILD CONTRACT.
SO I'VE REALLY GOT TWO PROJECTS, IF YOU WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH.
I GOT THREE PROJECTS ALL IN ONE CONTRACT, BE A COMPLETE FACELIFT ACROSS THE GREEN.
GREENFIELD IS JUST THE ONE TWO CONTRACTS, THE ONE ACROSS THE GREENFIELD.
AND THEN THE DESIGN BUILD AT 45.
THE MATCH LINE IS GONNA BE ON THE WEST SIDE OF 6 46.
SO I'M GONNA HAVE THAT CONTRACTOR IN MY SANDBOX.
AND I'VE GOT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY THAT I GOTTA GET OVER TO THE 45 INTERCHANGE AND TIE INTO THE CONTROLLER CABINET.
SO I'M GONNA BE IN THEIR SANDBOX.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE PLAY NICE TOGETHER WITH OUR TOYS IN THE SANDBOX BETWEEN THE TWO CONTRACTS.
UH, BUT THERE, THAT'S WHERE THE, THE TWO WILL BE.
SO WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? Y'ALL ARE KIND OF USED TO THIS.
YOU KNOW, WE FLIPPED THAT INTER THAT INTERCHANGE.
SO WE'VE GOT TO GET THESE BRIDGES OVER 45 AND THERE'S A COUPLE PLACES THAT WE HAVE TO PUT A COLUMN IN THE MIDDLE OF 45.
WE ALSO WERE, WE HAVE TO LAND THESE BRIDGES.
IF YOU GO OUT THERE AND YOU'RE ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD AND THERE'S THE MAIN LINE, THERE'S A LITTLE PIECE OF GRASS.
THANK YOU JOEL, THAT YOU LEFT ME A LITTLE PIECE OF GRASS.
YOU GAVE ME JUST ENOUGH GRASS TO MAKE ME MAD FOR ME TO LAND THE BRIDGES.
SO WE'RE GONNA LAND JUST OFF THE PHOTOS.
WE'RE GONNA FILL IN THE LITTLE GRASSY STRIP WITH, UH, WITH THOSE WALLS AND COMING DOWN.
SO WE'RE GONNA SLIP RIGHT IN BETWEEN THOSE.
BUT WE'VE GOTTA DO A LITTLE BIT OF WORK IN THE MIDDLE OF 45 THAT, THAT JOEL AND CREW JUST FINISHED THE OTHER GALVESTON COUNTY AREA OFFICE IN ORDER TO LAND A COUPLE COLUMNS IN THERE.
OTHERWISE THERE'LL BE SOME BARRIER WALL FOR THEM TO BUILD THOSE, THOSE RETAINING WALLS.
SO IT'LL, IT'LL KIND OF HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF THIS FEEL.
BUT WHERE THIS GRASS IS AT, I GOTTA LAND MY BRIDGES NOW THAT'S GONNA BE THE OTHER CONTRACT.
AND BECAUSE JOEL WAS SO GRACIOUS DOWN IN GALVESTON COUNTY TO LEAVE ME SUCH A SMALL PIECE, I SAID, I GUESS WHAT, I'M GONNA LET YOU BUILD THAT PART OF THE PROJECT THAT LANDS OVER THERE.
SO, UH, MELISSA, YOU CAN HELP HIM WITH IT.
ALRIGHT? UH, SO THE OTHER THING, THIS IS UP IN MONT VALUE PROJECT.
I DID, UH, SEGMENT H AND I, SO ONE OF THE THINGS, WHAT'S IT GONNA LOOK LIKE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF LEAGUE CITY? I'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT WHAT YOU'LL KIND OF SEE IN ALVIN.
YOU'RE GONNA SEE SOMETHING MORE LIKE THIS BECAUSE FOR THE MOST PART, WE'RE JUMPING OVER CALDER.
WE'RE JUMPING OVER HOBBES AND WE'RE JUMPING OVER 6 46.
WE A LITTLE BIT OF TIE IN, WELL THIS IS STATE HIGHWAY 1 46
[00:25:01]
IN THE MONT BELLEVUE AREA UP IN CHAMBERS COUNTY.AND SO WE'RE GONNA BUILD BRIDGE ON EITHER SIDE, SET SOME BEAMS, BUILD A BRIDGE OVER THE TOP OF IT, AND THEN WE'VE JUST GOTTA TIE IN SO IT'S NOT JUST A WHOLE LOT.
NOW THERE'S SOME OF THE CROSS STREETS.
WE MIGHT DO A LITTLE BIT OF A RECONSTRUCTION.
SO IT'LL LOOK LIKE SOME OF THOSE OTHER PHOTOS I SHOWED.
BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THE BETTER PART OF 99 THROUGH THE GREENFIELD, THROUGH THE LAKE CITY CITY LIMITS, YOU'LL NEVER SEE EXCEPT FOR SOMEBODY JUMPING OVER, UH, 6 46 CALDER AND HOBBES.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOTTA GET ALL THE WAY OUT TO MAPLE LEAF AND MCFARLAND, UH, BEFORE YOU'VE GOT SOME MORE FOLKS LIVING OUT THAT WAY THEY'LL SEE THE SAME THING.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S GOING TO OCCUR IS THAT THE DESIGN BUILD CONTRACTOR, THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS, UH, MY ENGINEERS AND INSPECTORS AND MATERIALS TESTERS, WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING AS HARD AS WE CAN DAYS, NIGHTS, WEEKENDS, AND HOLIDAYS TO GET THE JOB DONE AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.
'CAUSE ONE THING I'VE LEARNED IN 30 YEARS IS THERE'S NO MONEY TO BE MADE BY STRINGING SOMETHING OUT.
AND IN A DESIGN BUILD CONTRACT, IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU GOTTA GET THE, GET IT BUILT FOR THE LOWEST PRICE, MAKE THE BEST PROFIT, RIGHT? WE'RE GONNA MOVE AS FAST AS WE CAN.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO SLOW DOWN WHEN YOU DRIVE THROUGH CALDER.
WHEN YOU DRIVE THROUGH HOBBES, YOU DRIVE THROUGH 6 46, YOU DRIVE THROUGH 45.
WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING DAY AND NIGHT.
WEEKDAYS, WEEKNIGHTS, TRYING TO GET THIS DONE.
I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO SLOW DOWN.
THIS IS A DANGEROUS WORK SITE.
IN 2000, 2001, I WAS BUILDING INTERSTATE 30 5:00 AM PRESIDENT GEORGIA BUSH TURNPIKE UP IN 35.
I'M ON 35 NORTHBOUND AT NIGHT IN A LANE CLOSURE WITH A RAMP CLOSED.
AND I HAD FIVE CARS COME RIGHT BY MY LEFT HIP SO CLOSE THAT THE WIND BLEW MY SAFETY VEST.
THEY'RE DOING 60, 70 MILES AN HOUR, TAKING A RAMP THAT WAS CLOSED.
MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO.
I DID NOT WANT HER TO KNOW THE WORK ENVIRONMENT THAT I'M IN.
WE'VE GOT, THE CONTRACTORS ARE ACTUALLY IN AND AMONGST US HERE.
THEY'VE GOT PEOPLE THEY'VE GOT AND WIVES, BROTHERS, SISTERS, GRANDSONS.
THEY'RE GONNA BE WORKING OUT HERE.
YOU MAY HAVE SOME RELATIVES THAT GO TO WORK FOR THE CONTRACTORS THAT'S GONNA BE WORKING OUT HERE.
GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO HOME TO SEE OUR LOVED ONES.
YOU'RE TRYING TO GET HOME AS QUICK AS YOU CAN TO SEE YOUR LOVED ONES.
I DON'T WANNA SEE ANOTHER ONE DIE.
I DON'T WANNA SEE ANOTHER ONE.
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR TWO AND A HALF, TWO AND THREE QUARTERS OF A YEAR.
AND THE PERMITS, THE DEVELOPMENT IS COMING.
I'VE, WE CAN'T GET HERE FAST ENOUGH JUST IN THIS ONE LOCATION I KNOW ABOUT TWO BUSINESSES AND ONE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION.
UM, WATERMARK IS FILLED UP AND ACROSS THE STREET, THERE'S A SUBDIVISION COMING.
AND I KNOW, I KNOW SOME BUSINESSES ARE COMING.
THIS IS A LITTLE DEVELOPMENT UP ON THE NORTH END OF THE BYPASS.
UH, IT HAS FILLED OUT FURTHER UP AT 5 28.
THE BRAZORIA COUNTY ANNEX HAS ALREADY BEEN CONSTRUCTED AND THERE'S A SUBDIVISION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THAT PARTICULAR CREEK, DICKINSON BAYOU TRIBUTARY.
THIS IS A SHOT FROM A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
THIS IS WESTLAND RANCH AT MAPLE LEAF.
THIS IS KINDA ON THE WEST END OF THE, UH, GREENFIELD THAT IS FULL.
AND IT HAS BUILT OVER TOWARDS YOUR RIGHT, RIGHT? I WAS OUT THERE
[00:30:01]
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH HAD GOTTEN BUILT.
IT'S MORE THAN, IT'S MORE THAN TRIPLED.
AND I SAW LIKE TWO OR THREE ROOFTOPS A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
GOOD LUCK FINDING AN EMPTY SPOT OUT THERE.
NOW HERE IS, UM, LANDING IN HOBBS.
I WAS OUT THERE JUST A MONTH OR SO AGO, A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
EVERYTHING UP NORTH WAS JUST, IT'S COMING.
WE'RE GONNA GET HERE AS QUICK AS WE CAN.
UH, AND WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE IT OPEN TO TOLL IN 31.
IT TAKES A WHILE TO BUILD $2 BILLION WORTH OF WORK.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT PREPARING FOR THE PROJECT.
SO THERE'S UM, THREE DIFFERENT WEBSITES.
THE TOP ONE IS WHAT I CALL OUR ENVIRONMENTAL WEBSITE.
SO ANY OF YOU THAT CAME OUT IN OCTOBER OF 23 TO LOIT DOWN TO LOIT, THAT'S ALL THE MATERIAL THAT WE HAD IN OCTOBER OF 23.
THE SECOND SITE IS WHAT I CALL THE ENGINEERING SITE.
THAT'S WHAT THE CONTRACTORS WERE FIRST GETTING FED INFORMATION FROM.
THEY'RE GETTING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN WHAT I CALL THE HEIDI HOLE.
NOT REALLY, BUT UH, IT'S GOT A WHOLE LOT MORE INFORMATION FOR THEM TO PREPARE THEIR PRICE.
AND THEN THE BOTTOM ONE, THE CITY OF LAKE CITY IS GONNA BE STANDING UP A WEBSITE FOLLOWING TONIGHT'S, THEY'VE ALREADY KIND OF GOT IT THERE.
THIS WILL BE POSTED THERE ALONG WITH THIS, UH, PRESENTATION.
THIS QR CODE IS ACTUALLY ON SOME OF THE HANDOUTS THAT WERE, THAT WE HAD THIS EVENING.
THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO KIND OF KEEP TRACK OF WHAT'S GOING.
WON'T SEE A WHOLE LOT OVER THE NEXT NINE, 12 MONTHS.
BUT ONCE WE GET THE CONTRACTOR ON, ONE OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES THEY WILL HAVE IS PUBLIC INFORMATION.
AND SO THEY'LL HAVE TO STAND UP A WEBSITE FOR, FOR US AT TEXDOT AND CONTINUOUSLY FEED AND PROBABLY HAVE SOME SORT OF SIGN UP SO YOU CAN GET UPDATES AND THINGS ALONG THAT LINE.
SO THAT'LL BE A PART OF THE CONTRACT.
SO YOU CAN GET INFORMED, STAY INFORMED.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME, UH, THE TWO LOCALITIES HAVE STOOD UP WEBSITES AS YOUR FIRST POINT.
THIS IS, THIS IS FIRST BASE, AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA BATON IT OFF TO US.
AND, AND EVEN THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE PROJECT, THEY'LL PROBABLY MAINTAIN IT.
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST PLACE THAT YOU CAN GO AND SAY, HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PROJECT? AND THEY'RE GONNA BATON OVER TO US HERE IN A, LET'S JUST CALL IT A YEAR.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT E ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES.
SO FOR THE BUSINESSES, UH, AND OTHERS, MOST PEOPLE, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT A PROJECT LIKE THIS, YOU SAY, WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TIE A REBAR.
I DON'T, I DON'T, I DON'T, I DON'T.
SO THESE ARE THE TRADITIONAL SUBCONTRACTING OPPORTUNITIES.
IF YOU HAVE, IF YOU ARE THAT TYPE OF INDIVIDUAL, THE CONTRACTORS NEED YOU.
THEY WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF THE TEAM, YOUR LOCAL, LOCAL RESOURCES.
UM, CATCH UP WITH ME LATER AND, AND I CAN GET YOU THEIR POINT OF CONTACT TO BECOME A VENDOR, IF YOU WILL, A SUBCONTRACTOR OR SUPPLIER.
WE CAN GET YOU THEIR EMAIL ADDRESSES, BUT I WANT YOU TO THINK BEYOND TYING REBAR AND CONCRETE HEAVY EQUIPMENT, REPAIR EQUIPMENT, LEASING, EVEN PROVIDING SECURITY AT THE, AT THE LAY DOWN YARD, PROVIDING SECURITY ACROSS THE PROJECT.
I'VE SEEN THOSE TYPES OF CONTRACTS.
IT SECURITY GUARD DOES NOT TIE A REBAR AND, AND PLACE CONCRETE SECURITY GUARDS.
WHAT ABOUT OIL CHANGES? OFFICE SUPPLIES, CARPENTRY SUPPLIES.
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF LITTLE BITTY THINGS THAT GO INTO A PROJECT THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T THINK ABOUT.
THEY JUST SEE THE DUMP TRUCKS AND THE, AND THE BULLDOZERS JANITORIAL SERVICES FOR THE FIELD OFFICE.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE SPENT DURING THE BIG C CLEANING OUR FIELD OFFICES, PROBABLY MORE THAN WE PAID OUR INSPECTORS.
THERE WERE ALCOHOL EVERYWHERE.
AND IT WASN'T THE KIND YOU DRINK THAT WAS OUT IN THE PARKING LOT.
UM, PRINTERS, COPIERS, COMPUTER SERVICES, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING'S ELECTRONIC, BUT WE'RE STILL PRINTING STUFF.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESSES THAT DON'T DRIVE, THAT DON'T DRIVE DUMP TRUCKS THAT DON'T DO BULLDOZERS.
THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
I WANNA TAKE YOU ONE MORE LEVEL DEEP.
THERE'S GONNA PROBABLY BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF, I'M GONNA SAY THREE TO 400 PAIRS OF BOOTS ARE GONNA LAND ON THIS PROJECT.
SOME OF THEM WILL BE LOCAL HIRES, BUT THERE ARE SPECIALTY SUBCONTRACTORS.
I'VE SEEN THIS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF MY CAREER.
AND I'M GONNA USE LIKE A DRILL SHAFT CREW.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONES THAT DRILL THE BIG HOLES IN THE GROUND AND PUT THE CONCRETE FOR THE BRIDGES TO STAND ON.
THEY DON'T NORMALLY BRING IN ROOKIES.
[00:35:01]
BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR 5, 10, 15, 20 YEARS.THEY WILL LIVE THEIR 6, 12, 18 MONTHS AND THEN THEY WILL LEAVE OUT.
WELL, THEY NEED SOMEPLACE TO STAY.
THEY'RE GONNA NEED IN, IN SOME OF THESE FOLKS, THE PROJECT MANAGERS, SUPERINTENDENTS, THE, THE LABORERS THAT MOVE WITH THE JOB.
MAYBE THEY BRING THEIR LOVED ONES AND THEY GOT LITTLE ONES THAT NEED DAYCARE.
UM, I'VE TOLD, UH, SOME OF THE BUSINESSES, LET'S SAY YOU GOT A GAS STATION.
THINK ABOUT A COFFEE MUG SO THAT IF THE, THE EMPLOYEES COME IN AND THEY SHOW THEIR ID THAT THEY WORK ON THE PROJECT, MAYBE THEY GET 10 CENTS OFF THE COFFEE MUG.
'CAUSE THEY'RE GONNA BE COME IN EVERY DAY.
THEY'RE GONNA COME IN THE MORNING, GET BREAKFAST BURRITOS AND A RED BULL.
THEN AT LUNCHTIME THEY'RE GONNA COME IN AND GET A PACK OF CIGARETTES AND A RED BULL.
AND THEN THE EVENING THEY'RE GONNA COME IN AND GET DIFFERENT DRINKS AND A PACK OF CIGARETTES.
BUT THEY'RE GONNA BE FREQUENTING THE BUSINESSES.
THEY'RE GONNA BE FREQUENTING THE BUSINESSES.
I'VE SEEN A LOT OF COMMUNITIES, THIS, THIS IS NOT MY FIRST RODEO.
I'VE SEEN A LOT OF COMMUNITIES CAN TREAT A BIG PROJECT ONE OF TWO WAYS.
YOU CAN EITHER SHUN THE WORKERS AND JUST REMEMBER EVERY ONE OF THOSE WORKERS HAS ONE OF THESE AND THEY'RE GONNA SPEND MONEY IN THE COMMUNITY.
SO YOU CAN EITHER TELL 'EM TO STAY OUTTA MY BUSINESS OR GO GET A BOOT BRUSH, GO GET A BOOT BRUSH, PUT IT OUTSIDE THE DOOR.
'CAUSE NO, I DON'T WANT THEM DIRTY BOOTS COMING IN MY BUSINESS.
WELL GIVE 'EM SOME PLACE TO CLEAN THEIR BOOTS BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA SPEND MONEY.
THEY'RE GONNA SPEND MONEY IN YOUR BUSINESS.
OKAY? BASIC LIVING SUPPLIES, URGENT CARE, THINGS ALONG THAT LINES.
THEY'RE, THIS IS NOT TO BE A BURDEN ON THE COMMUNITY.
THERE IS ACTUALLY ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES DURING THE COURSE OF THE PROJECT.
MAYBE YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THOSE, BUT MAYBE YOUR SISTER, YOUR AUNTIE, YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS ONE OF THESE TYPES OF BUSINESSES.
TAKE THIS INFORMATION TO THEM WHEN THIS GETS POSTED TO THE WEBSITE, GIVE THEM THE WEBSITE AND TAKE 'EM TO THOSE THREE SLIDES AND SAY, JIMMY, YOU KNOW YOU GOT THAT SECURITY GUARD MAN, YOU NEED TO BE LOOKING AT THIS JOB.
SO AS FOLLOW UP, AT ANY POINT IN TIME YOU NEED TO GET AHOLD OF ME.
WELD CREEK DON'T RISE AND THE COMMENTS DON'T HIT.
I'LL BE THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER THAT MOVES THIS FROM PROCUREMENT INTO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.
THAT NUMBER RIGHT THERE IS NOT SITTING AT A DESK.
THAT'S THE WORK PHONE, THAT'S THIS NUMBER RIGHT THERE.
DANNY SENDS IT TO HIS DESK AND THEN HE CALLS ME AND SAYS, HEY KENNETH, I NEED YOU TO CALL THESE PEOPLE
UM, DANNY'S NUMBER DANNY'S OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER WHO HAS THIS PROJECT IS ONE OF HIS PROJECTS IN HIS PORTFOLIO.
IF YOU CAN'T GET AHOLD OF ME, YOU GET AHOLD OF DANNY.
DANNY WILL GET AHOLD OF ME, SAY, HEY, DID YOU HEAR FROM NICK WAS TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF YOU, NICK.
OH YEAH, I'LL TRY TO CALL HIM TONIGHT.
OTHERWISE WE GOT DRIVE TEXAS TRENDSTAR AND X.
WE'VE GOT SOCIAL MEDIA OUT THERE.
I'LL LEAVE THAT STUFF TO DANNY.
SO WITH THAT, JOHN, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER IF YOU WANNA DO ANYTHING ABOUT QUESTIONS, WE'LL, WE'LL DO THAT AT THIS TIME.
UM, SO FRIENDLY REMI FRIENDLY REMINDER, IF YOU DO HAVE QUESTIONS, JOHN DOES ASK THAT YOU COME UP TO THE, UH, UP TO THE, UH, MICROPHONE THERE.
I THINK WE'RE READY FOR QUESTIONS AFTER KENNETH, UH, UH, INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION.
AND SO OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF STUFF TO THINK ABOUT.
AND SO, UM, JUST ASK YOU TO COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE ONE AT, YOU'LL END UP GETTING IN LINE, BUT ONE AT A TIME AND STAND IN LINE AND THEN WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO ANSWER THEM.
I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE, YOU SAID IT WAS GONNA BE CROSSING HOBBES AND CALDER AND 6 46.
HOW CLOSE TO THE FREEWAY WILL THAT BE TO 45 RIGHT NOW? HOW CLOSE, HOW CLOSE THAT WILL BE TO THE, TO 45.
HOW CLOSE IS 99 GOING TO BE TO NINE TO 45.
RIGHT AT THAT PLACE WHERE YOU SAID IT WAS GONNA BE CROSSING HOBBES, CALDER AND 6 46.
WELL, LIKE THE, LIKE THE PICTURE WE HAD AT THE VERY START, IT'S JUST GONNA COME IN FLAT AND THEN IT'S GONNA TIE RIGHT INTO 45, RIGHT WHERE YOU SEE HEB AND THE SEVEN 11 AND OH
[00:40:01]
TAKE FIVE OIL CHANGE.UH, FRANK HARRIGAN, UH, PRESIDENT, HOA, UH, LAKES, BAY COLONY.
UH, I BACKED UP TO THE RETENTION POND, WHICH THE HIGHWAY WILL BE COMING RIGHT THERE.
AND I'VE GOT A QUESTION ON THE SOUND BARRIER.
UH, WE DID NOT GET A REAL GOOD RESPONSE, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT.
UH, YOU NEEDED A, A MAJORITY, I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY.
SO WITH RESPECT TO THE NOISE WORKSHOP THAT WE DID TWO MONTHS AGO, SOMEWHERE ABOUTS, RIGHT? UH, ENVIRONMENTAL FOLKS WILL BE FOLLOWING UP TO, TO NOTIFY WHERE WE WERE AT ON THAT, UM, HOW THAT WORKSHOP AND HOW THE RESULTS CAME IN.
OKAY? SO I BELIEVE THEY'RE, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SENDING OUT A NOTICE ON THE RESULTS OF THAT.
OKAY? I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, BUT, AND ADDITIONALLY, UH, ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO I CALLED, I BELIEVE IT WAS DANNY, I MAY BE WRONG, UH, ABOUT THE, UH, WEEDS ON WHICH ON THE PROPERTY YOU OWN NOW, UH, THEY DID COME IN, UH, IN A, IN A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME AND CUT IT.
I'M GONNA GIVE CREDIT TO THE GALVESTON COUNTY AREA OFFICE.
SO THAT GOES TO THEM IN THE MAINTENANCE SECTION.
SO JOEL, IF YOU WOULD PASS ALONG THE APPRECIATION.
UM, HAVE THEY DONE ANY SURVEYS TO DETERMINE HOW PROPERTY VALUES, ESPECIALLY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES, WILL BE IMPACTED BY THIS? BECAUSE ALL THESE SUBURBAN AREAS WHERE WE'VE SEEN 99 HAPPEN IN OTHER AREAS IN THE HOUSTON AREA, I DON'T KNOW THE FACTS, BUT I THINK I'M HEARING THAT THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT OF A SPIKE IN PROPERTY VALUES.
THAT IS, THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE GET INTO.
THE OTHER QUESTION IS, WHO DETERMINES, UM, THE PRICING OF THE TOLLS? THERE IS, IT'S A, IT'S A LONG-WINDED AND COMPLICATED ANSWER THAT I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH TO ANSWER.
BUT IT IS TIED TO, UH, THE WAY THE RATES THAT ARE IN THE AREA AND PER MILE.
AND THERE'S, IT'S A GOOD LITTLE FORMULA, BUT IT'S IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OTHER TOLLING AGENCIES IN THE AREA.
IT'S, UH, QUITE, QUITE DETAILED.
IT, THEY DON'T LEAVE IT UP TO ME AND DANNY AND WE DON'T GET A CUT OF THE CUT OF THE TOLL.
SO IT'S THERE, THERE IS A VERY, VERY DETAILED PROCESS.
DANNY, THERE'S INFORMATION, THERE'S INFORMATION ON THE, THE, THE, UH, THE TEXT TAG WEBSITE.
I CAN KIND OF POINT YOU IF YOU WANT TO EMAIL ME, BUT I CAN GIVE YOU MY, MY CARD AND YOU CAN EMAIL.
WOULD SOME OF THE LOCAL OFFICIALS HAVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THE, HOW THE PROPERTY VALUES COULD BE IMPACTED? HAVE THEY DONE THOSE STUDIES? YOU COULD COPY ME.
AND WHEN YOU, IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
I LIVE IN PETAL SUBDIVISION AND MY HOUSE IS ACTUALLY ABOUT 400 YARDS WHERE YOU'RE GONNA BE PUSHING THE, UH, 99 THROUGH.
MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE GONNA BE LIKE WALLS FOR NOISE CONTROL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO PROTECT THAT? 'CAUSE I UNDERSTAND IN OTHER AREAS THAT THE NOISE CONTROL IS ACTUALLY PRETTY HIGH.
THERE WERE, THERE WERE TWO LOCATIONS WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE ON HOW THEY GO ABOUT AND DETERMINE THE, THE DECIBELS AND THE IMPACTS AND THINGS ALONG THAT LINE.
THERE WERE TWO LOCATIONS THAT WE WENT, ACTUALLY THERE WERE FOUR.
TWO OF 'EM WERE THE, THE APARTMENTS OVER OFF 35.
THE THIRD WAS WATERMARK SUBDIVISION THAT I SHOWED.
THE FOURTH WAS BAY COLONY SUBDIVISION, RIGHT THERE BETWEEN 6 46 AND CALDER.
THOSE WERE THE FOUR LOCATIONS THAT WALLS WERE DETERMINED TO BE, UH, TO, TO BE TAKEN OUT AS A NOISE WORKSHOP VISIT WITH THOSE FOLKS.
DO YOU WANT, DO YOU NOT WANT BUT OVER TOWARDS HOBBES? NO, MA'AM.
AND THERE'S NOTHING IN THE FUTURE TO ACTUALLY PUT ANYTHING UP TO PROTECT THAT AT ALL.
THAT WASN'T, IT'S LIKE NOT GONNA BE BUILT ANYTHING IN A FUTURE.
THE, FOR THIS PROJECT AND THE, THE FOUR LANES THAT WE'RE PUTTING UP THERE IS NOT AN INTENTION TO PUT UP WALLS NEAR HOBBS.
MY NAME IS MARY ANN GMAN, AND I DON'T KNOW, YOU JUST SAID ALL THAT, BUT I STILL DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND ANYTHING.
BUT, 'CAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU PUT A FREEWAY OR A TOLL ROAD, WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT, OVER SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE ALREADY BUILT LIKE OVER THERE IN SEDONA.
I MEAN, ARE THEY GONNA BE RAISED THAT HIGH UP THAT THEY WILL JUST GO RIGHT OVER IT OR WHAT?
[00:45:02]
WE'RE NOT GOING OVER THE TOP OF THE SUBDIVISIONS.THERE'S A, THERE'S A 400 FOOT BAND THAT WAS CARVED OUT AND LEFT FOR US THAT WERE GONNA BE SLIPPING IN BETWEEN THE SUBDIVISIONS.
SO WE'RE NOT GOING OVER THE TOPS OF HOUSES.
BUT IF, IF I LIVED OVER THERE I WOULD SEE IT BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE HIGH UP.
RIGHT? IT, WE WILL HAVE, SO LIKE AT CALDER AND IT HOBBES AND IT'S GONNA BE THE, JUST KIND OF THE TRADITIONAL UP OVER AND BACK DOWN.
IT'S NOT SOME 40 FEET NOW OVER AT THE 45 INTERCHANGE? YES, THOSE WILL BE REALLY HIGH BECAUSE THAT'S THREE, FOUR LEVEL INTERCHANGE.
BUT OTHERWISE, LIKE CALDER, IT'S GONNA BE JUST KIND YOUR STANDARD 16 AND A HALF FOOT CLEARANCE.
SO THEY'RE GONNA BE ABOUT 20 FOOT ABOVE GROUND LINE.
WELL, I LIVE OFF OF CALDER RIGHT OVER HERE.
SO IT'S NOT THIS SIDE OF CALDER, IT'S THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 45.
I LIVE RIGHT ON THIS SIDE OF 45 ON OFF OF CALDER.
YOU'RE ON THE EAST SIDE E NO, CALDER'S ONLY ON THE WEST RIGHT OVER HERE.
DO DO YOU LIVE IN SEDONA OR DO YOU LIVE ON THE EAST SIDE OF I 45? NO, THE RIGHT OVER HERE WHERE CENTER POINT IS.
WHAT IS, IS IT GONNA GO THERE? YES.
IS THAT THE CALDER OR IS THE CALDER ON THE OTHER SIDE? SO THE, SO THE ROADWAY CROSSES CALDER ON THE WEST SIDE OF I 45, THE OTHER CALDER, AND IT'LL BE UP HIGH.
WILL I SEE IT NOT FROM YOUR HOUSE? IS THERE A RAMP THAT GOES FROM THERE TO FOUR? UH, 96? NO MA'AM.
NO, NOTHING TO COME ONTO 96 UP.
WELL, 'CAUSE I DON'T, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THAT.
I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THAT UP THERE.
SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH CALDER AND YOU KNOW, WHERE, OKAY, THIS IS WHERE DOMINION CHURCH, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE CROSSING JUST NORTH OF DOMINION CHURCH ON CALDER.
OH YEAH, I KNOW WHERE THAT IS.
MY NAME'S RANDY CONNELL, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE WAKES ECONOMY HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION.
MY FIRST ONE IS, AND IT'S PROBABLY MORE FOR THE CITY OFFICIALS THAT ARE HERE.
WE NEED SOME MORE POLICE PATROLS ON FIVE 17, WE GOT PEOPLE, WE GOT PEOPLE PASSING IN THE NO, UH, IN THE TURN LANES DOING 70 MILES AN HOUR.
AND, AND I MEAN THEY, THEY BLOW THROUGH THERE PRETTY FAST ON FIVE 17.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S LIKE YOU GOT TWO LANES, YOU GOT A MIDDLE LANE WHERE PEOPLE TURN AND WE COULD USE SOME MORE HELP THERE.
UH, THE OTHER QUESTION IS, ONCE IT TIES TO 45, WHERE DOES IT GO FROM THERE? 'CAUSE I SAW ON THE OTHER MAP THERE WAS NOTHING FROM THERE TO BASE DOWN.
SO WHAT HAPPENS THEN FROM 45 OVER TO 1 46? YEAH, 1 46.
THAT, THAT'S WHAT IS CALLED SEGMENT A AND THAT IS CURRENTLY NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A FEASIBLE, UH, PORTION OF THE GRAND PARKWAY AT THIS TIME.
UHHUH
THERE'S JUST A, ANYWHERE FROM 6 46 DOWN TO, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE CROSSING.
THERE'S NO ROUTE HAS BEEN DETERMINED THROUGH THE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS.
YOU'VE GOT, YOU'VE GOT A MAP WITH, WITH THAT ON THERE.
CAN YOU SEE THAT MAP? THAT'S JUST A NO.
YEAH, BECAUSE IT SHOWS IT'S FROM OH YEAH.
UM, FROM BAYTOWN DOWN TO, UH, 45 IS NOTHING.
THAT IS, THAT IS JUST ONE MAP.
IT'S A POTENTIAL, IT IS NOT IDENTIFIED AS BEING THE EXACT LOCATION.
UH, THERE'S MORE INFORMATION ON IT.
THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE MAPS IN ORDER TO, THE REASON WHY I GRABBED THIS ONE IS BECAUSE B ONE IS BLUE AND IT'S READILY VISIBLE.
THAT IS JUST ONE OF THE OPTIONS OF SEGMENT A.
HELLO BEN HEISEL, I'VE GOT A QUESTION.
SO THE STRETCH THAT COMES FROM ALVIN OVER TO 45, HOW MANY ON RAMPS AND OFF RAMPS WILL THERE BE ON AND OFF RAMPS? WELL, THERE'S, SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE COMING FROM THE WEST AND HEADING EAST, YOUR FIRST INTERCHANGE IS GONNA BE GEORGETOWN PARKWAY.
UH, AND THEN THE NEXT IS WHAT I'VE AFFECTIONATELY TERMED THE CROSSBOW INTERCHANGE.
IT'S GONNA BE WEST BOULEVARD, LONGFELLOW DRIVE, MCFARLAND ROAD, AND MAPLE LEAF DRIVE.
ALL FOUR OF THOSE WILL BE ONE CONTINUOUS INTERCHANGE, IF YOU WILL.
HOBBES, WE'RE GONNA JUMP OVER.
AND THEN CALDER AND THEN WE TIE INTO 6 46.
CALDER WILL HAVE AN ON AND OFF RAMP.
CALDER HAVE ON AND OFF RAMPS AT CALDER.
[00:50:02]
HI, I'M WALTER BRODO.UH, I WAS WONDERING, HAVE Y'ALL ACQUIRED ALL OF THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT Y'ALL NEED FOR THIS PROJECT? AND IF NOT, DO YOU KNOW WHEN RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITION WE'LL START.
WE'RE WELL UNDERWAY AND THEY'RE ALL IN PROCESS.
BUT THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF IT'S ALREADY DONE.
CHRISTINA OSBORNE, I'M AT, UH, LAKES, THE BAY COLONY, AND I THINK THIS IS MORE FOR THE CITY ON THE OFF RAMP THERE AT 6 46 AND, UH, THE TOLL IS THERE GONNA BE A LIGHT? AND HOW ARE WE GONNA CONTROL THE ADDITIONAL NOISE THAT'S GONNA BE ON 6 46 FOR ALL THOSE RESIDENTIAL HOMES? SO, AS FAR AS WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S GONNA BE A SIGNAL LIGHT, WE HAVE A PROCESS THAT WE GO THROUGH THAT WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT TRAFFIC COUNTS, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH, UH, THAT I'VE NOTICED BEEN COUNTING COUNT CARS RIGHT NOW.
UH, ALL THAT HAS TO GO INTO, WE LOOK AT IT, THE TIE IN AT 6 46 IS LISTED AS A, TO BE DETERMINED IF ONE NEEDS TO GO IN AT THE TIME WHEN WE OPEN.
THERE ARE SOME THAT, AS I SAW IN H AND I, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY NEEDED IMMEDIATELY, BUT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH LIKE A SIX MONTH AND LET IT, LET IT RUN AND THEN MAYBE YOU ADD IT AFTER THAT.
SO LIKE THE STATE HIGHWAY 1 46 PICTURE THAT I SHOWED IN MONT BELLEVUE.
THAT WAS AN AD AFTER THE FACT BECAUSE THE NUMBERS WEREN'T THERE IN ORDER TO DO IT INITIALLY.
SO THERE IS A CERTAIN PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO DO ALONG THAT LINES, UH, AND WE WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT PROCESS SURE.
SO THAT, THAT'S FOR THE LIGHT.
HOW ARE WE GONNA DEAL WITH THE ADDITIONAL NOISE THAT'S GONNA BE COMING FROM THAT EXIT OR THAT FRONTAGE ROAD COMING ON TO 6 46 THROUGH THE RESIDENTIAL? THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHY I THINK FRANK IS THAT RIGHT? FRANK? SO THERE, THERE WAS A, WE HAD A NOISE WORKSHOP FOR THE LAKES OF BAY COLONY.
YEAH, BUT THAT WAS JUST ON THE BACKSIDE, MA'AM.
I WASN'T INVITED BECAUSE I DON'T LIVE ON THAT BACKSIDE.
SO THE ONES THAT WE NOTIFY FOR THE WORKSHOP ARE THE ONES THAT ABUT THE PROJECT CORRECT.
ADJACENT TO IT, NOT ALL THE WAY DEEP INTO, AND THAT THE, THE, THE WAY THE NOISE WALL STUFF WORKS IS IT HAS TO BE FOR THAT, THAT ROW OF HOUSES, IF YOU WILL.
AND HOW IS LEAGUE CITY GONNA DEAL WITH THAT NOISE THEN? WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? ARE WE GONNA ADD ADDITIONAL TREES, BUSHES? WHAT? HOW ARE WE GONNA ADDRESS THAT AS IT RELATES TO TRAFFIC ON 6 46? MM-HMM
TYPICALLY WE WOULD LOOK TO TDOT TO LOOK AT THAT.
IF THE WALL'S WARRANTED, THEN THEY WOULD, WE WOULD APPEAL TO THEM TO PUT ONE IN.
SO YOU'RE GONNA RELY ON TDOT FOR NOISE ON 6 46, IS IT AS IT RELATES TO A STATE HIGHWAY? YES, MA'AM.
SO I WOULD SAY AT THIS POINT IT HASN'T BEEN STUDIED, SO WE APPRECIATE THE COMMENT AND WE'LL LOOK AT THAT.
UH, THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO FRANK'S QUESTION ABOUT THE NOISE WALL.
UM, DO YOU HAVE A TIMELINE FOR WHEN WE'RE GONNA HEAR BACK? I, I DON'T, I KNOW IT'S ENVIRONMENTAL.
I KNOW THAT THEY, THEY WERE WORKING ON WRAPPING UP THE PACKAGE AND THE REPORT MM-HMM
IN FACT, I SAW ONE OF THE LETTERS, UH, THAT HAS TO GO INTO THE DOCUMENTS JUST THIS WEEK.
THEY, THEY SENT ME SOME STUFF AND I'M LIKE, NOPE, THAT'S WORDED WRONG.
IT, IT SHOULD BE COMING HERE BEFORE TOO LONG.
IT SHOULDN'T BE ANOTHER SIX MONTHS.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE NOTIFYING HERE BEFORE TOO LONG.
I'M SORRY I JUST CAN'T GIVE YOU A DATE.
I NOTICED ON THE, UH, END OF I THINK B ONE OR B TWO, I DIDN'T SEE VERY MANY RETENTION PONDS.
AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF CONCRETE AND FRONTAGE RATES AND ALL THAT.
SO I HAVE JOKED FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS THAT I'M NOT BUILDING A TOW ROAD.
WHAT I'M BUILDING IS A WATER PARK WITH A TOLL ROAD RUNNING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF IT.
UH, JOHN, IF WE CAN GO BACK, I'M GONNA, AND, AND YOU PROBABLY CAN'T SEE IT ON THIS PICTURE.
OKAY, WELL KEEP LOOKING REALLY, REALLY HARD.
AND THEN LOOK A LITTLE HARDER.
THERE'S THOSE LITTLE BLUE DOTS.
WELL, IN SOME PARTS OF THE WORLD, WATER IS BLUE, UM, DOWN HERE THOUGH.
SO THOSE LITTLE BITTY BLUE DOTS.
AND THERE'S WAY MORE THAN THAT THAT YOU CAN SEE.
I MEAN, I WANT TO SAY I'M IN THE, OR I, I WANNA SAY 42 PONDS.
IT'S LIKE I SEE TWO, IT'S IN THE 30 TO 40 RANGE.
OH, WE'VE GOT DETENTION PONDS.
UH, UM, WE HAVE A LOT THAT STAYS INSIDE THE 400 FEET AND UNDERNEATH THE BRIDGES.
FROM THE 35 THING DOWN HERE WAY.
ALL THE WAY THIS WAY FOR THE WHOLE 14 MILES.
I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES ON THOUGH.
[00:55:01]
AND YOU CAN SEE THE SCHEMATIC AND SOME OF THE PONDS SHOW UP THERE.I SEE A BUNCH UP THERE, BUT I DON'T SEE THERE.
ON THE, ON THE WEST SIDE, SOUTHWEST SIDE.
JEFF RICHARDS, I, SORRY, I SHOWED UP A LITTLE BIT LATE.
DON'T KNOW IF I MISSED THIS IN THE BEGINNING, BUT YOU KEEP, UH, MENTIONING THE ROADS THAT YOU'RE JUMPING OVER.
UM, WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF BAY AREA BOULEVARD? I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
IS THERE GONNA BE A TIE IN? YEAH, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
IS THERE GONNA BE A TIE IN WITH, UH, BAY AND LANDING? IT'LL BE AN INTERCHANGE OF BAY AREA AND LANDING AND MAPLE LEAF AND ALL THOSE WHICH FRONTAGE ROAD TO BE ABLE TO GET ON NO FRONTAGE ROADS.
YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE A COMPETING FACILITY, A FREE FRONTAGE ROAD.
SO RAMP WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAPLE RAMP ON RAMP AT BAY AREA, AT BAY AREA, IT'D BE A DIAMOND INTERCHANGE? YES.
JUST ON THAT COMMENT THAT YOU JUST MADE ABOUT COMPETING ROADS, HOW IS THE TRAFFIC GONNA FLOW THAT DOES NOT CHOOSE TO PAY TOLLS? HOW IS THAT GONNA, UH, FLOW DOWN 35 FROM ALVIN TO LAKE JACKSON? 35 WILL CONTINUE TO BE FREE.
SO 35, IF I, I CALL 35 THE MIDDLE, THE INFIELD.
SO WE GOT THE GREENFIELD AND THE INFIELD.
35 IS THE FREE FACILITY OR THE NON TOLD FACILITY.
SO 35 WHERE YOU'RE DRIVING TODAY, OTHER THAN AROUND THE, UH, THE RAILROAD AREA, YOU'RE GONNA BE, THAT'S, THAT'S THE NON TOLL.
THAT'S WHERE THE TOLL WILL BE ON AND OFF.
RAMPS WILL BE GETTING ON AND OFF OF 99 FOR TOLL 35 WILL CONTINUE TO BE A NON TO FACILITY.
SO, SO THAT'LL, THAT WILL BE THAT COMPETING ROAD THAT'S AN EXISTING YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BIGGER NETWORK, IT'S GENERALLY FOLKS ARE GONNA TRY AND GET FROM THAT GREENFIELD, LIKE ALL THE WAY DOWN.
THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY WHERE, OR THEY WANNA, THEY WANT TO AVOID THE SIGNAL LIGHTS.
AND JUST, UH, OUTTA CURIOSITY ON THE DESIGN, UH, PROBABLY EVERYBODY IN HERE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE CLEAVER CURVE, UH, ON I 45 GOING NORTH WHERE THE TRAFFIC GOES FROM 75 MILES AN HOUR DOWN TO 50, BUT THE SKID MARKS END AT THE CONCRETE BARRIER IN BETWEEN THE, UH, WHERE THE CARS ARE RUNNING IN.
WHY IS THAT SUCH A SHARP RIGHT HAND TURN UP THERE? UM, AS YOU EXIT ALVIN AND START OFF INTO A, WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO AS THE GREEN FIELDS, WHY, WHY WASN'T THAT THAT CURVE THERE SOFTENED RATHER THAN, I'M SURE YOU DON'T, DON'T LOOK AT THAT LIKE IT'S A 90 DEGREES.
THIS IS JUST A CRAYON COLOR PICTURE.
THIS IS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
IT IS ROUNDED, SO IT WILL MAINTAIN THE SPEED LIMITS.
WE'VE, WE'VE GOT IT WHERE WE HAVE THE PROPER STOPPING SITE DISTANCE AND EVERYTHING ROLLING THROUGH THAT AREA.
BUT IT'S NOT THAT, WHAT YOU SEE THERE, THAT, THAT IS SIMPLY A, WHAT WE CALL A LINE DIAGRAM.
SO VERY LITTLE DETAIL LIKE THE LADY WAS LOOKING FOR DETENTION PONDS.
I GOT A BUNCH OF BLUE DOTS UP THERE.
YEAH, I LIVE IN BAYVIEW AND I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT'S THE PLAN OR HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GO ALONG MAGNOLIA CREEK IN THAT AREA? 'CAUSE WE HAVE OUR PARK THAT BACKS UP INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN THE CREEK AND THEN THE ACTUAL FIELD.
SO I'M JUST, JUST KIND OF UNDER TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE IMPACTED IN THAT AREA.
'CAUSE IT'S, I CALDER CALDER CROSSES, UH, MAGNOLIA CREEK AND THEN IT GOES INTO BAYVIEW.
AND SO I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WITH THE CREEK THAT GOES ALL THE WAY TO 6 46.
WE, WE CROSS OVER BAY, WE CROSS OVER MAGNOLIA BAYOU.
NO, IT'S ON, IT'S ON THE WEST SIDE OF HOBBES, MAGNOLIA BAYOU AT THE VERY LEFT CORNER.
RIGHT AT THE, YOU SAID CALL RIGHT AT THE CALDER BETWEEN CALDER AND HOBBES IS WHERE IT CROSSES WHERE MAGNOLIA, WHERE WE WILL GO OVER? YEAH.
THE THE, WE WILL GO OVER MAGNOLIA VALUE.
YEAH, THE, THE PURPLE IS YOUR RIGHT OF WAY, CORRECT? OR IS THAT THE FRONTAGE? YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THE PURPLE'S THE, THE RIGHT OF WAY.
AND YOU CAN SEE CALDER RIGHT ON THE EDGE.
AND THEN BAYVIEW IS, IS JUST TO THE NORTH.
THE, THE CALDER BRIDGE IS GONNA BE KIND OF LONG TO GET OVER A BUNCH OF WATER FEATURES.
SO THERE WHAT I'M ASKING, IS THERE GONNA BE A FEEDER ALONG MAGNOLIA BY YOU? IS THERE GONNA BE A FEEDER? NO.
[01:00:05]
CALL AGAIN, JUST TELL HIM JUST A COUPLE MORE AND WE'LL CALL AGAIN.UM, A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS THEN.
I'M, UH, DARBY HEISEL, THE PLANNED ADVANCED UTILITY RELOCATIONS, THE PIPELINE AND THE UTILITY, ALL THAT IS THAT GONNA AFFECT THE RESIDENTS? SO WE, WE WEREN'T ACTUALLY ABLE TO DO THE EARLY ON ADVANCED MOVEMENTS.
LIKE, I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE SLIDES THAT'VE GOT SOME DATA ON THEM.
UH, BUT WE GOT THEM TEED UP SO THAT THEY KNOW THE PROJECT'S COMING SO THEY'RE READY FOR IT.
NOW MOST OF THAT STUFF THAT YOU SAW, UH, PLANNED ADVANCED PLANNING, THOSE ARE PIPELINES.
YOU GENERALLY DON'T HAVE PIPELINES THAT FEED THE SUBDIVISION.
UM, IT, THE, THE RELOCATES OR THE UTILITY RELOCATIONS BE MORE ALONG THE LINES OF POWER LINES AND GAS LINES AND OR TELECOM KINDA LINES, UM, THROUGH THE GREENFIELD.
VERY LITTLE SHOULD BE IMPACTED ALONG THAT LINES.
BUT THEY ALSO HAVE PROTOCOLS AND PROCESSES IN PLACE TO GET EVERYTHING BUILT.
AND THEN THERE'S A, WE'RE GONNA DO A SWITCHOVER.
SO LIKE IF THERE'S A WATER LINE THAT HAS TO BE MOVED, GET EVERYTHING BUILT, AND THEN FRIDAY NIGHT, SATURDAY MORNING WE GOTTA DO A SWITCHOVER.
AND THAT'S USUALLY WHERE LIKE CHRISTOPHER, YOU CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, Y'ALL SEND OUT A REVERSE 9 1 1 OR SOMETHING TO SAY WE'RE GONNA BE DOING A, WE'RE GONNA DO A SWITCH OVER INTO WATER LINES AND SO WE LET PEOPLE KNOW WHEN THAT KIND OF THING HAPPENS.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT THE UTILITY IS.
ALL DEPENDS ON EXACTLY WHERE YOU'RE AT AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT UTILITY HAS TO BE RELOCATED.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IT COULD, I CAN'T ANSWER ON GAS.
SO WATER AND SEWER LEAK CITIES.
SO FOR WATER, YOU POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE AN OUTAGE FOR SEVERAL HOURS.
AND THAT'S WHAT KENNETH WAS SAYING.
USUALLY THOSE ARE EIGHT OR NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT BEFORE THEY GO OUT.
WE TYPICALLY PROVIDE SEVERAL DAYS NOTICE THAT IT'S COMING SO PEOPLE CAN BE UH, UH, READY FOR IT.
SEWER IS NOT USUALLY SOMETHING THAT IMPACTS, UH, THE WATER COULD SO ELECTRICITY OR OUR GAS, IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU'RE AT.
WHETHER OR NOT IT HAS TO HAVE A RELOCATE, THERE ARE A LOT OF UNKNOWNS UNTIL WE GET IN THERE AND THE DESIGN BUILDER DESIGNS THAT RIGHT THERE.
MAYBE NO UTILITY IMPACT, BUT THEY, WHAT I POSTED UP EARLIER, POTENTIAL UTILITY CONFLICTS.
HI, I'M ROXANNE ROCHELLE AND I LIVE IN RUSTIC OAKS ON BAY AREA.
AND TWO QUESTIONS IN THE LARGER DRAWING.
I KNOW IT'S NOT A HARD RIGHT LEFT TURN DEPENDING ON YOUR DIRECTION, BUT IT KIND OF IS STARK.
UM, WHY WAS A PATH SO FAR NORTH CHOSEN IF WE'RE GONNA END UP GOING THAT FAR SOUTH? ANYWAYS, IT, THAT STARTED YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS AGO THROUGH THE ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.
AND I WANNA SAY THAT WAS CALLED THE NEW SOUTH ALTERNATIVE I THINK IT WAS CALLED.
UM, YOU REACH OUT TO ME AND I'LL POINT YOU TO THE WEBSITE AND YOU CAN GO READ THE HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF DOCUMENTS.
SAYS IT'S BASED ON ECONOMICS, CONGESTION.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO INTO IT.
FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AT THE TIME.
SO EXCUSE ME, THAT WAS ALL, THAT WAS ALL DETERMINED PRE 2016 AND I WAS IN, THAT WAS TWO STATES AGO.
THE OTHER QUESTION IS, UM, ON BAY AREA, UM, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S A THOROUGHFARE.
IT'S GONNA BECOME A BIGGER THOROUGHFARE.
AND, AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE CONCERNED AS YOU GET CONSTRUCTION AND CONCRETE AND ALL OF THESE THINGS, ALL OF THESE UTILITIES TO THE CONSTRUCTION SITE, HOW ARE YOU GONNA GET THEM THERE? ARE WE GONNA SEE A LOT OF CONCRETE TRUCKS AND EXCAVATORS AND THINGS LIKE THIS BE SHIPPED DOWN BAY AREA OR MAPLE LEAF OR WHATEVER STREET? I I CAN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY WHERE THEY'RE GONNA GO, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS, THEY'RE ALREADY DOING THAT NOW TO BUILD ALL THE SUBDIVISIONS.
SO IT'S BETWEEN THE SUBDIVISIONS THEY'RE CURRENTLY BEING BUILT, THE FUTURE BOX STORES, THE FUTURE, WHATEVER, THEY'LL, AND SOME OF 'EM IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW THEY OPERATE.
WELL DEPEND ON THE CONTRACTOR.
IF THEY, IF THEY ENTER FROM ONE SIDE AND THEY JUST DRIVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH, OR IF THEY COME IN FROM MULTIPLE DIFFERENT SIDES, IT DEPENDS ON WHERE THE MATERIAL'S COMING FROM.
BUT THEY'RE ALSO NOT BRINGING LIKE BARRIERS AND THESE KINDS OF THINGS.
AND SO THE, THE THE UTILITIES, THE THE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS, EXCUSE ME, THE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS ARE GONNA USE ARE LARGER AND A LITTLE BIT MORE IMPACTFUL.
SO THEY STILL HAVE TO MEET ROADWAY WEIGHT STANDARDS THOUGH.
JUST TRAIPSING IT THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAVE
[01:05:01]
DRIVEWAYS THAT END INTO THE STREET IS A CONCERN.BRIAN, THIS IS PROBABLY MORE FOR THE CITY.
WHEN CAN WE ANTICIPATE BAY AREA BEING CROSSING THE CANAL AND ACTUALLY PUTTING IN A STREET DOWN TO WHERE 99 IS COMING IN? 'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING THERE RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
SO WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON, UM, HOBBS ROAD CONNECTED INTO CEMETERY ROAD THAT PROBABLY WILL START CONSTRUCTION, UH, THIS SUMMER AND PROBABLY BE ABOUT A YEAR TO A YEAR AND A HALF CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE AS IT RELATES SPECIFICALLY TO BAY AREA BOULEVARD.
UH, THERE'S A DEVELOPER CURRENTLY LOOKING AT THAT SECTION OF LAND.
HE'S IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PLANNING STAGES.
IT WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE COUNTY BOND PROGRAM TO BUILD TWO LANES OF IT.
SO I THINK WE'LL SEE DESIGN THIS YEAR AND THEN PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, IF IT ALL GOES WELL, NOTHING HAPPENS WITH THE ECONOMY.
COULD SEE CONSTRUCTION PROBABLY STARTING AS EARLY AS 2027 AND PROBABLY TAKE ABOUT A YEAR TO COMPLETE.
SO THOSE ROAD, THOSE ROAD LANDING, UM, AND BAY AREA BOULEVARD AND HOBBES ARE ALL PUSHING TO GET DOWN TO FIVE 17 HERE PRETTY QUICKLY.
AND NOW FOR 99, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY EXITS ON 99 FROM 45 OVER TO ALVIN, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE GREEN AREA? 'CAUSE MY EXPERIENCE ON THE REST OF 99, THERE'S NOT THAT MANY EXITS OR INTERCHANGES THAT CLOSE TOGETHER ON 99.
YOU ANTICIPATE YOU'RE GONNA ANSWER BEFORE I FINISH? NO, GO AHEAD, FINISH.
IF YOU, YOU GOTTA ANSWER, I'LL LISTEN.
I, I GO FINISH YOUR QUESTION, SIR.
SO AS FAR AS THE SPACING OF THE INTERCHANGES, THAT WAS PREDETERMINED YEARS AGO.
SO THE GRAND PARKWAY IS WHAT I CALL A JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN THE SEVEN COUNTIES AND TDO, UH, AND ALL OF THOSE, NOT NECESSARILY ALL OF THEM, UH, BUT UH, THE ONES THAT WERE ADDED WERE GEORGETOWN WEST AND LONGFELLOW.
I THINK WERE NOT ON THE, THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT AND THOSE WERE ADDED, BUT THE, THE AGREEMENT HAS BEEN AMENDED TO BE IN CONCERT WITH THE LOCALITIES THOROUGHFARE PLANS.
AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.
AND IT WAS EVEN PREDETERMINED WHICH ONES HAD OVERPASSES VERSUS WHICH ONES HAD INTERCHANGES.
SO IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A PART OF THE OVERALL, THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SEVEN COUNTIES AND TDOT.
SO, OKAY, LEMME JUST FROM THE, JUST FROM THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE INTERCHANGES, OBVIOUSLY IT'S TO PROVIDE ACCESS AND ENHANCE MOBILITY TO THE PEOPLE LIVING IN AND AROUND THOSE ARTERIAL ROADWAYS.
AND SO WE ASK FOR MANY OF THOSE INTERCHANGES WITH THE CONNECTIONS.
ALRIGHT, WE'LL MAKE THIS IF, IF Y'ALL DON'T MIND, WE'LL MAKE THIS OUR LAST QUESTION.
I AM MARIA AVALO AND I AM ON, UH, 6 46 AND, UH, CALDER ROAD.
AND I AM JUST, UH, A LITTLE, UH, CONCERNED AND WONDERING IF DURING CONSTRUCTION, UH, WE HAVE A PLAN FOR, UH, HANDLING EVACUATION IF THERE WAS A NEED FOR IT.
UH, THERE IS SO MANY PEOPLE NOW THAT I WONDER WITH ALL THIS CONSTRUCTION GOING ON, WHAT, WHAT, I MEAN, DO WE HAVE A PLAN TO GET EVERYBODY IN THE SAME DIRECTION AT THE SAME TIME IF THERE WAS A CASE? SO THE CURRENT, WHEN YOU GO OUT TO HGAC, YOU SEE WHAT THE HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTES ARE.
THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE AS THEY, I THINK STATE HIGHWAY SIX IS ONE OF THE, UM, UH, IS ONE OF THE HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTES.
AND SO THAT IS FACTORED INTO PART OF OUR CONTRACT THAT WHEN WE SEE AN IMPACT COMING, WE ACTUALLY HAVE PROVISIONS IN THERE TO KIND OF CLEAR THE ROAD TO HELP OPEN IT UP.
BUT AS FAR AS DO YOU HAVE A PLAN THAT WILL BE DEVELOPED WHEN WE GET THAT CONTRACT ON SO THAT WE'VE GOT A MORE DETAILED PLAN, BUT WE, WE ARE FACTORING INTO OUR CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENT THAT THEY PICK UP, MOVE, CLEAN OUT, AND LET'S GET EVERYBODY THROUGH SIX AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO IMAGINE, UH, REALLY GET A PICTURE IN MY MIND AT LEAST, UH, WHEN, WHEN THE BRIDGE WITH 99 ENDS ON 6 46, UH, IN THAT LOCATION THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, YOU SAY IT'S GONNA BECOME, OR IT GOES ON 45 YES MA'AM.
IT'S NO 45 AND THEN 99, IT, IT'S EFFECTIVELY A FOUR LEVEL INTERCHANGE.
SO GO TO WHAT'S A EIGHT, UH, EIGHTS BELTWAY OR GO TO THE LOOP, THOSE FOUR LEVEL INTERCHANGES.
SAME WAY THAT, THAT KIND OF VISION.
[01:10:02]
YEAH, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S TIERED.WELL, I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY COMING OUT THIS EVENING.
