<br />- <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Program Guide <br /> <br />Call of 2005 - 2006 <br /> <br />Activities <br />Master plans, feasibility studies, general planning not leading directly to a specific, <br />tangible transportation enhancement project, and salaries for the staff to perform such <br />planning, are not eligible items for funding. Planning may be appropriate in some <br />categories if the activity leads directly to a specified enhancement activity whether or not <br />actual construction is involved. Planning for some archaeological activities may also be <br />eligible. <br /> <br />Upon completion, a facility must be open to the public for a period of not less than 10- <br />years. A nominal fee to cover operation and maintenance expenses of the facility may be <br />charged. The nominating entity is the party responsible for the operation and <br />maintenance of the facility and will be the contracting party with TxDOT. The facility may <br />not be used for commercial or for-profit activities during the time specified in the <br />agreement with TxDOT for the use period of the facility. <br /> <br />When proposing projects that are adjacent to or include areas that contain buildings or <br />other structures that are 50 years of age or older, even streetscape or landscape type <br />projects may be affected by their proximity to the activities that may be performed. <br />Please consult early with THe when historic properties are present, to help determine the <br />appropriate improvements. Be aware that project activities may be affected by their <br />proximity to historic properties and the type of work to be performed within the proposed <br />project area. <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program <br />
