Port of Houston Expansion Review Committee Meeting (Cont'd) -Page 3 <br />There are complaints regarding the Barbour's Cut area, the construction may not be <br />complete until the end of 2005. The Committee was informed that the Port's Tom <br />Kornegay had planned to start the landscaping after the road is complete. The <br />landscaping is provided by the Port, not by the County. <br />The Port will have bike paths constructed over the culverts the County constructed in <br />Bayridge. <br />The Port will assist the City with the intersection at Barbour's Cut and State Highway <br />146. Commissioner Burke will support and file for part from TKDOT to landscape. <br />Committee Member Peter Griffiths asked about the "Keep La Porte Beautiful" program <br />with grants, etc. Mr. Griffiths asked Mr. Burke if the Port has volunteers who would be <br />willing to help plant trees and with landscaping. Mr. Burke responded the Port has many <br />willing people. <br />Mayor Porter feels, regarding the heavy truck traffic, that it would be best to extend Bay <br />Area Boulevard to State Highway 225, across State Highway 146, to Port Road. Hams <br />County and the La Porte could contribute funds. Mr. Burke stated that the Port should be <br />thrilled with this prospect. <br />Mr. Burke encouraged the Committee to phone if they need anything further. <br />4. COMMITTEE COMMENTS <br />The Committee had no further comments. <br />5. ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business to come before the Committee, this meeting was duly <br />adjourned at 4:15 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Susan Turner <br />Administrative Secretary <br />Passed and approved on this day of 2005 <br />Mayor Alton E. Porter <br />
