The City of Houston City Council approved an Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for the 2026 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). This agreement facilitates the construction of pedestrian safety improvements, including sidewalks, crosswalks, signage, and signals/beacons, at three distinct locations: Chimney Rock Road from IH 69 to Bissonnet Street (District J), Dairy Ashford Road from Alief-Clodine Road to Bissonnet Street (District F), and Fondren Road from W Airport Boulevard to Buffalo Run (District K). The total obligated federal amount for these projects is $1,659,030.00. The City is responsible for the design and construction, as well as 100% of TxDOT's Direct Costs, for which $109,500.00 was appropriated under a preceding agenda item. Any construction contract costs exceeding the federal amount will be the City's responsibility.
