The City of Sugar Land has scheduled an informational meeting on May 6 to discuss the expansion of University Boulevard from Commonwealth Boulevard to the Riverstone subdivision.
The meeting will be held from 6-8 p.m. in the Cane Room at Sugar Land City Hall, 2700 Town Center Boulevard North. Key City staff and consultants will participate in the meeting.
Sugar Land has been discussing the project with the community for several months, including ongoing discussions with the Brazos Landing and Avalon homeowners’ associations and surrounding communities.
The dialogue with key community members is intended to ensure residents are kept apprised of the project, one that will result in four lanes divided by medians, said city representatives.
“This roadway will benefit the entire community by alleviating congestion on major routes and improving mobility throughout the region,” said City Engineer Chris Steubing. “Providing more direct access to U.S. Highway 59 and State Highway 6 means fewer motorists cutting through neighborhoods to access major thoroughfares – effectively reducing traffic in communities along Commonwealth.”
The meeting will provide residents an opportunity to visit with staff about the project, discuss details related to design features and provide feedback. Construction is anticipated to begin in September 2010.
Sugarland has a $3 million budget problem, the city news to prohibit spending money it don’t have! Don’t ask for more loans from anyone or China. This will be an expanded plan route for more crimes, to more communities along University Blv.!
Hopefully they will take community concerns seriously on this and not make this another pseudo-meeting to placate.
