DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement:

Harris and Montgomery Counties,

Texas

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

environment impact statement will be

prepared for a proposed transportation

improvement project in Harris and

Montgomery Counties, Texas.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

John Mack, P.E., Federal Highway

Administration, Texas Division, 826

Federal Bldg., 300 East 8th Street,

Austin, Texas 78701, Telephone 512–

916–5516.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the Texas

Department of Transportation (TxDOT)

and The Grand Parkway Association,

will prepare an environmental impact

statement (EIS) on a proposal to upgrade

the existing road network in Harris and

Montgomery Counties. The proposed

improvements being considered, as

shown in the Region’s Long-Range

Transportation Plan, are a multilane

controlled access facility in northern

Harris and Montgomery Counties which

would be part of a third circumferential

loop (State Highway 99) around

Houston. The proposed improvement

length is approximately 13 miles.

Improvements in this area are necessary

to provide mobility to the growing area

of northwest Harris and Montgomery

Counties. A Draft EIS will evaluate

various transportation alternatives

between Interstate 45 (North) and

United States Highway 59 (North). The

majority of this corridor crosses

relatively undeveloped properties in

Harris and Montgomery Counties,

although subdivision has occurred in

portions. Among the alternatives to be

studied are the ‘‘No-action’’ alternative,

Transportation System Management

(TSM) alternative, Mass Transit

alternative and Roadway Build

alternative. Cities and towns in this

region include Spring, New Caney and

Porter. This study is authorized

pursuant to the Texas Transportation

Commission Minute Order No. 108744

issued May 27, 1999.

The scoring meeting will be on

February 3, 2000, at Kingwood College,

20000 Kingwood Drive from 4 p.m. to 7

p.m. Large scale maps with

environmental and social features will

be available at the meeting, and several
