The projects subject to this notice are: 

1. I–610 West Loop Dedicated Bus 

Lane from I–10 (Northwest Transit 

Center) to Post Oak Boulevard, Harris 

County. The project will consist of a 

two-lane structure over the southbound 

frontage road of I–610, ultimately 

crossing to the center of I–610. The total 

project length is approximately 1.5 

miles with typical 12-foot lanes and 4- 

foot shoulders. The project will not 

require any additional right of way or 

displacements. The purpose of the 

project is to remove bus traffic from the 

I–610 West Loop and allow buses to 

move more efficiently and predictably 

between the Northwest Transit Center 

and the planned Bellaire/Uptown 

Transit Center. The actions by TxDOT 

and Federal agencies and the laws 

under which such actions were taken 

are described in the Categorical 

Exclusion (CE) Determination approved 

on October 12, 2017, and other 

documents in the TxDOT project file. 

The CE Determination and other 

documents in the TxDOT project file are 

available by contacting TxDOT at the 

address provided above or the TxDOT 

Houston District Office at 7600 

Washington Avenue, Houston, Texas, 

77007, (713) 802–5000. 

2. Airport Boulevard, from Hiram 

Clarke Road to FM 521 (Almeda Road), 

Harris County. This project will 

construct a roadway facility 

approximately 2.5 miles in length which 

will connect existing fragmented 

segments of Airport Boulevard through 

undeveloped/new location areas to 

complete a four-lane divided boulevard 

between Hiram Clarke Road and FM 

521. A four-lane divided roadway with 

a raised center median will be 

constructed to match the first existing 

boulevard section of Airport Boulevard 

from Hiram Clarke Road to Harris 

County Flood Control District (HCFCD) 

Channel No. C146–00–00. Airport 

Boulevard will be constructed on new 

location from HCFCD Channel No. 

C146–00–00 through to the intersection 

with Buffalo Speedway and then to the 

intersection with Townwood Drive. The 

second existing segment of Airport 

Boulevard will be widened from a twolane roadway to a four-lane boulevard 

from Townwood Drive to the Waterloo 

Drive intersection. East of the Waterloo 

Drive intersection, Airport Boulevard 

will traverse the following residential 

streets in a northwest-southeast 

direction: Woodkerr Street, Lightstar 

Drive and Ambrose Street. East of 

Ambrose Street, Airport Boulevard sill 

continue to the southeast, on new 

location, crossing HCFCD Channel No. 

C161–00–00 and a wooded undeveloped 

area, curve to the northeast through a 

grassy area between two existing ponds, 

and extend through to the intersection 

with Clover Lane. From Clover Lane, 

Airport Boulevard will curve eastward 

and continue through an undeveloped 

wooded area and end at FM 521 (eastern 

project terminus). There are also two 

detention areas proposed for this 

project. The purpose of the Airport 

Boulevard roadway improvement 

project is to connect the existing 

fragmented sections of Airport 

Boulevard through undeveloped/new 

location areas to complete a four-lane 

divided boulevard between Hiram 

Clarke Road and FM 521. The proposed 

Airport Boulevard project will offer the 

traveling public a west-east alternative 

to the limited existing west-east travel 

corridors in southwest Houston. The 

area of southwest Houston between US 

90A, Beltway 8 and SH 288 lacks 

roadway connectivity; the proposed 

Airport Boulevard will improve traffic 

movement and safety in this area of 

southwest Houston. 

The actions by TxDOT and Federal 

agencies and the laws under which such 

actions were taken are described in the 

Final Environmental Assessment (EA) 

approved on July 11, 2017, the Finding 

of No Significant Impact (FONSI) issued 

on July 11, 2017, and other documents 

in the TxDOT project file. The EA, 

FONSI, and other documents in the 

TxDOT project file are available by 

contacting TxDOT at the address 

provided above or the TxDOT Houston 

District Office at 7600 Washington 

Avenue, Houston, Texas, 77007, (713) 

802–5000. 

3. FM 521, from Beltway 8 to FM 2234 

(McHard Road), Fort Bend and Harris 

Counties. The project widens FM 521 to 

a typical four-lane divided curb and 

gutter section with a 16-foot raised 

median from Riley Road to FM 2234 and 

ties to the existing seven-lane section 

north of Riley Road, a distance of 

roughly 0.9 mile. Improvements to the 

intersection at FM 521 and FM 2234 

provide for a ‘‘jug-handle’’ option that 

creates two offset ‘‘T’’ intersections (one 

along FM 521 and one along FM 2234). 

This eliminates both at-grade railroad 

crossings with railroad overpasses on 

FM 521 and FM 2234 and eliminates the 

four-legged intersection at FM 521 and 

FM 2234. The distance of the 

improvements on FM 2234, including 

the grade separation, extend 

approximately 0.8 mile. Improvements 

also include a mix of 15-foot outside 

lanes, six-foot shoulders, and five to sixfoot sidewalks to accommodate 

bicyclists and pedestrians. The purpose 

of the project is to expand capacity to 

enhance mobility, improve safety, 

improve railroad/local traffic crossings, 

and accommodate population and 

economic growth, while minimizing 

impacts to the natural and social 

environment. 

The actions by TxDOT and Federal 

agencies and the laws under which such 

actions were taken are described in the 

Final Environmental Assessment (EA) 

approved on March 22, 2017, the 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) issued on March 22, 2017, and 

other documents in the TxDOT project 

file. The EA, FONSI, and other 

documents in the TxDOT project file are 

available by contacting TxDOT at the 

address provided above or the TxDOT 

Houston District Office at 7600 

Washington Avenue, Houston, Texas, 

77007, (713) 802–5000. 

4. FM 1960, from BF 1960–A to 

Atascocita Shores Drive, Harris County. 

Although the eastern logical terminus of 

the project is Atascocita Shores Drive, 

the project extends approximately 0.10 

mile further and ties into the western 

end of the Lake Houston Bridge. The 

improved roadway from BF 1960–A to 

Atascocita Road and from Pinehurst 

Trail to Lake Houston will consist of six 

travel lanes (two 12-foot lanes, and one 

15-foot shared lane in each direction) 

with one-foot curb offsets. An 18-foot 

raised median and two 5-foot sidewalks 

are also included. The improved 

roadway from Woodland Hills Drive to 

Atascocita Road will consist of a grade 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 135 / Friday, July 13, 2018 / Notices 32713 

separation with a total of ten lanes (four 

through lanes on the grade separation 

and six local access lanes). Eastbound 

local access lanes will consist of one 15- 

foot shared lane, and two 12-foot 

through lanes with one-foot curb offsets. 

Westbound local access lanes will 

consist of one 15-foot shared lane, and 

two 12-foot through lanes, with one-foot 

curb offsets. The grade-separated 

through lanes will consist of four 12- 

foot lanes (two in each direction) and 

four-foot curb offsets. A six-foot raised 

median will separate the through lanes 

on the grade separation. The grade 

separation will span Atascocita Road, 

West Lake Houston Parkway, and 

Farmington Road. Two five-foot 

sidewalks will be constructed outside 

the local access lanes on the eastbound 

and westbound side. The project length 

is approximately 6.4 miles. The purpose 

of the project is to alleviate traffic 

congestion, accommodate future traffic 

associated with the growth of Harris 

County, Atascocita, and the City of 

Humble, and improve mobility and 

safety. The actions by TxDOT and 

Federal agencies and the laws under 

which such actions were taken are 

described in the Final Environmental 

Assessment (EA) approved on 

September 29, 2017, the Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) issued on 

September 29, 2017, and other 

documents in the TxDOT project file. 

The EA, FONSI, and other documents in 

the TxDOT project file are available by 

contacting TxDOT at the address 

provided above or the TxDOT Houston 

District Office at 7600 Washington 

Avenue, Houston, Texas, 77007, (713) 

802–5000. 

5. FM 2100, from FM 1960 to South 

Diamondhead Boulevard, Harris 

County. The project will widen the 

existing two-lane, undivided facility to 

a four-lane, divided facility. North of 

Hare Cook Road, the improved roadway 

will have 12-foot travel lanes, two in 

each direction, separated by an 18-footwide median, and 12-foot outside 

shoulders. Five-foot sidewalks will be 

constructed on both sides of the 

roadway. South of Hare Cook Road, the 

roadway will also have two travel lanes 

in each direction; the outer lane will be 

a 15-foot shared use lane, along with a 

12-foot-wide inner lane. This section of 

the roadway will also have a raised 

median and five-foot sidewalks. 

Detention ponds will also be 

constructed as part of the project. The 

project is approximately eight miles 

long. The purpose of the project is to 

facilitate multi-modal mobility in 

eastern Harris County by adding 

additional capacity to FM 2100, as well 

as sidewalks and bicycle 

accommodations. The proposed project 

will also improve safety for the 

travelling public by constructing a 

raised median. 

The actions by TxDOT and Federal 

agencies and the laws under which such 

actions were taken are described in the 

Final Environmental Assessment (EA) 

approved on January 20, 2017, the 

Finding of No Significant Impact
