Map <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />Background <br />As the Texas Department of Transportation (TX DOT) moved forward toward opening SH <br />225 from SH 134 to SH 146 there was a problem that arose at the Joint between previous <br />construction projects and the current project. Rather than further delay the opening of <br />the new portion of SH 225 while the problem is corrected, TX DOT has proposed to <br />temporarily detour traffic through the area. In order to safely accomplish this detour, they <br />have requested La Porte to reduce speeds for construction from 55 mph to 45 mph. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff concurs with TX DOT that due to safety reasons, the speed should be reduced <br />through the area from 55 mph to 45 mph. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Approve an ordinance reducing speeds in the City of La Porte on SH 225 from SH 134 <br />to SH 146 for construction safety.. <br />Availability of Funds: N/A <br />_ General Fund _ Water/Wastewater <br />Capital Improvement ~ _ General Revenue Sharing <br />_ Other <br />Account Number: Funds Available: -YES NO <br />
