I-45 Galveston Improvement Project March 4, 2021 8 Script: The I-45 Galveston Improvement Project is receiving federal funds, and because of the federal component, TxDOT is required to assess the potential environmental effects of the proposed project in accordance with Federal standards. The process that is followed is called the National Environmental Policy Act process, otherwise known as NEPA. The NEPA process provides analyses of the potential impacts to the natural and manmade environment and helps to inform the decision makers whether or not to proceed with the project. On December 9, 2019, TxDOT received a signed Memorandum of Understanding from the Federal Highway Administration that permits TxDOT to assume responsibility from the Federal Highway Administration for reviewing and approving certain assigned NEPA projects. This review and approval process applies to this project. 8 I-45 Galveston Improvement Project Overview I-45 Galveston Improvement Project March 4, 2021 9 Script: The project's study limits extend along I-45 from the Galveston Causeway Bridge to 61st street, a distance of approximately 2.5 miles. The project is located in Galveston County. The project area consists of existing roadway ROW, developed land, and adjacent parcels of coastal marsh and open water. Land use surrounding the proposed project include industrial, residential, commercial, and vacant lots. 9 Background of the I-45 Galveston Improvement Project I-45 Galveston Improvement Project March 4, 2021 10 Script: The slide shows a timeline of the I-45 Galveston Improvement Project. The roadway design and environmental analysis for this project was initiated at the beginning of 2020. A virtual public meeting was held on August 11, 2020 to present the project to the public and to solicit comments. Documentation of this public meeting can be found on the project webpage. Following the public meeting TxDOT continued to refine the schematic and environmental analysis. This virtual public hearing is being held to present the proposed improvements and the findings of the environmental analysis, and to receive your comments on the proposed project. 10 Project Purpose and Need Project Need . Increased and projected growth in the area causes traffic demand to exceed capacity of the existing roadway . Current roadway layout (the geometry of the main lanes, frontage roads, intersections and ramps) creates operational issues such as congestion at the intersections, congestion on the main lanes, and access issues to adjacent neighborhoods . Facility currently has limited bicycle and pedestrian accommodations . Improve hurricane evacuation Project Purpose

Although the hotel is built up against the pavement, the car parks to the rear provide a large open space, whilst the school and engineering department stand back from the road behind high walls. The setback makes the street a light space, although the high buildings to either side channel views along the street in both directions. The grounds on either side provide greenery that softens the streetscene. The Royal Cambridge Hotel North House of the Leys School provides architectural interest as part of the late Victorian Methodist School complex, built in red brick with exuberant stone and brick detailing which provides a strong vertical emphasis.

  • Economic Impact to Barge Operators and Shippers of Closing the GIWW
    0-6807-WP White Paper: Economic Impact to Barge Operators and Shippers of Closing the GIWW TxDOT Project 0-6807, Texas Gulf Intracoastal Waterway Master Plan PUBLISHED: March 2016 TO: Kevin Pete, Project Manager Research and Technology Implementation Office, TxDOT COPY TO: Sylvia Medina, Research and Technology Implementation Office, TxDOT Justin Malnar, Research Development Office, TTI Erlinda Olivarez, Research Development Office, TTI FROM: Jim Kruse, Research Supervisor FOR MORE INFORMATION: Name: Jim Kruse Phone: 713-613-9210 Email: [email protected] 1 WHITE PAPER Task Purpose This task analyzed the effect that the March 22, 2014, collision and oil spill in the Houston Ship Channel had on Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) barge shipments. Because the incident is so recent, the scope of the analysis was somewhat constrained due to data availability. This task report discusses the following topics: The events of March 22, 2014, and the following days. The effect of the incident on barge traffic flows. Transit delays for shipments already on the water and the cost of those delays. Shipments that were postponed because of the channel closure. Decontamination requirements. Background—The Incident At 12:35 p.m. on March 22, 2014, a collision occurred in the Houston Ship Channel just inside the junction known as the Texas City “Y.” This is an extremely busy intersection of various shipping lanes, both deep sea and shallow draft. Figure 1 shows the location of the accident, as well as the routing for the various ship channels and the GIWW in that area. 2 Figure 1. Map of Ship Channels in Vicinity of Oil Spill.

Project Title: Ramp Design Considerations for Facilities without Frontage Roads 16. Abstract Based on a recent change in Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) policy, frontage roads are not to be included along controlled-access highways unless a study indicates that the frontage road improves safety, improves operations, lowers overall facility costs, or provides essential access. Interchange design options that do not include frontage roads are to be considered for all new freeway construction. Ramps in non- frontage-road settings can be more challenging to design than those in frontage-road settings for several reasons. Adequate ramp length, appropriate horizontal and vertical curvature, and flaring to increase storage area at the crossroad intersection should all be used to design safe and efficient ramps for non-frontage-road settings.
