VOLUME I CITY OAPORTE'S COMPREHENSIVE PL~ 1-74 <br />-- <br />While not all of La Porte's residents will evacuate under <br />emergency conditions, it is assumed that population will <br />increase in areas more proximate to Houston and new thor- <br />oughfare construction and improvements will trail behind <br />as is currently the case. Consequently, thoroughfare <br />capacity ~in the future will become increasingly limited <br />in relationship to population trends. This implies that <br />La Porte will: <br />r <br />- necessarily have to depend on the use of public shelters <br />as proposed in the Safety Plan, <br />- have an organized program for the evacuation of those <br />wishing to do so and a cage and assistance program for <br />those citizens wishing to remain in La Porte. . <br />1.10 Redevelopment <br />The City of La Porte, like ot~.er cities, has areas that are <br />in a deteriorated condition or in the process of deterioration. <br />~~lhile in the case of La Porte these areas are limited, they have <br />a negative effect on both surrounding areas and on the City's <br />overall image. It is a goal of the Comprehensive Plan to have <br />. these areas upgrade in quality. <br />In order to achieve this goal, two options are available to <br />the City of La Porte and its residents--the first is to recognize <br />the need for redeveloping these areas, designating them as such- <br />and establishing specific capital programs and investment incen <br />tives designed to improve the area's condition; the second is to <br />reshape the conditions in and surrounding these areas through the <br />concerted effort of improvements proposed by the Master Plan for <br />the City as a whole in order to create favorable conditions for <br />their upgrading through traditional development processes. <br />TumerCollie~Braden Inc <br />•: <br />
