City of La Porte <br />Interoffice Memorandum <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br />Robert T. Herrera, City Ma <br />From: John Joerns, Assistant Ci n ffer <br />Date: January 17, 2002 <br />Subject: Texas Department of Transportation <br />New Frontage Road Rule <br />Attached is a flyer summarizing New Frontage Road Rules that the Commission is <br />preparing. In summary, the Commission is preparing rules authorizing it to limit <br />the construction of new frontage roads and access points on controlled access <br />facilities. The rules are being established because adjacent development and access <br />points along controlled access highways contribute to congestion and early <br />deterioration of the main travel lanes. <br />There will be provisions for exceptions and projects currently being developed will <br />be evaluated on a case by case basis. <br />There is a workshop and public hearing on this matter on Friday, January 18, 2001. <br />I plan to attend to get more information, especially as it relates to State Hwy. 146. <br />Staff will report to Council at the January 21St Workshop Meeting and receive <br />direction from Council if warranted. The deadline for written comment is <br />February 4, 2002. <br />cc: Doug Kneupper, Director of Planning <br />
