<br />Houston-Galveston Area Council <br />DRAFT 2025 Regional Transportation Plan <br /> <br />The Fort Bend Mobility Committee is currently evaluating options for developing new <br />facilities that would connect the bicycle and pedestrian networks in the master-planned <br />communities with each other and future municipal networks throughout the county. The <br />committee identified the need to include a bicycle element in their future plans, but has <br />not yet defined the scope of this effort. <br /> <br />. City of Missouri City - Missouri City has seven bikeway projects identified in <br />the RTP, including construction of shared-use paths, as well as restriping of <br />roadways to include bike lanes. All projects are slated to start in the 2003-2005 <br />time frame. <br /> <br />. City of Sugar Land - The City of Sugar Land has developed a shared-use path <br />system that connects park facilities within the city. Sugar Land also has two <br />bicycle and pedestrian bridge projects in the RTP. A bicycle and pedestrian <br />bridge will also be constructed over Oyster Creek and Ditch A to connect <br />existing facilities. <br /> <br />Galveston County <br /> <br />Galveston County's bicycle planning and facility development has been limited to <br />shared-use paths within and in conjunction with recreational facilities. <br /> <br />· City of Galveston - There are several roadways with bicycle route signage, but <br />the City of Galveston has not officially designated these as signed shared <br />roadways. Shared-use paths have been developed within and in conjunction with <br />park facilities <br /> <br />· City of League City - League City has a current 2003 TIP project to construct a <br />hike and bike trail along SH 96. The City also has three shared-use path projects <br />included in the RTP that will begin between 2010-2012. <br /> <br />· Texas City - A system of hike and bike trails connecting schools, parks, activity <br />centers and points of interest was listed in the city's Goals 2000 plan as a need of <br />the community. Since 2000, the City of Texas City has installed over 12 miles of <br />shared-use paths. <br /> <br />Harris County <br /> <br />Harris County, through its parks department, flood control district, and commissioner <br />precinct offices, has developed an extensive shared-use path system. In May 2003, the <br />commissioners court adopted a parks master plan that will vastly expand this system, <br />providing shared-use paths along most bayous, links between recreational facilities, and <br />between existing and proposed facilities of the City of Houston and Fort Bend County. <br />Shared-use paths currently under design include one along South Mayde Creek, an <br />extension of the trails from Terry Hershey Park to the Metro Park & Ride lot, as well as a <br />pedestrian bridge east of Dairy Ashford Road. Harris County has 25 bikeway projects in <br />the RTP and some of them have also received STEP funding commitments from TxDOT. <br /> <br />In addition to bikeway projects sponsored by Harris County, several improvement <br />districts have bikeway projects underway or planned.
