• .. • <br />r- ~~ <br /> <br />Resources. East La Porte sewer problems have long needed <br />attention; the sewer relief projects would address this need. La <br />Porte has been deficient in water storage; the addition of College <br />View and Spenwick have added to this deficit. The water storage <br />project would adequately address this shortage. <br />GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS <br />The first recommended general obligation bond, $5.5 million <br />for thoroughfare and stormwater projects, has 4 components. The <br />first of these is $901,000 for drainage of the Lomax area via Big <br />Island Slough. Relief of this area is most necessary after heavy <br />rains, as well as for future development. Second is $675,000 for <br />the lining of a portion of Big Slough to accommodate the <br />additional drainage from the first project. Third is widening of <br />Broadway to four lanes from "G" Street to Fairmont Parkway. This <br />project was not addressed in the Comprehensive Plan; City Sr_aff is <br />encouraged to seek State or Federal funding for this project <br />($749,000). Widening of this major street is seen as of key <br />importance, as this is a major commercial corridor, both presently <br />and in the future. Fourth are improvements to East "E" Street from <br />San Jacinto to Park St. These also were not included in the <br />Comprehensive Plan, and are felt to be important as replacement <br />facilities to outdated and undersized equipment that will serve to <br />enhance area drainage ($1,742,000). <br />$ 2.5 million dollars in general obligation bonds for park <br />facilities in two sections~of La Porte has been recommended.
