• The widening of Houston Levee Road between Almadale Farms and Halle Plantation is planned to begin construction sometime this year, probably mid- to late summer.
• The Town is in the process of acquiring right of ways from 29 parcels. Once the ROWs, construction easements and drainage easements are acquired, final revisions will be made and the project put out to bid.
• The road, when finished will be very similar to new part of Houston Levee south of Winchester. There will be four lanes with an extra large median. At a future date, the town will add one lane south and one lane north to be taken from the median area. At completion, there will be a total of six lanes with 16 foot median.
• The 2' shoulders will be paved with no exposed gravel.
• The 1.2 mile project will cost approximately $4million and take 18 months to complete.
• The south bound lanes will be the first to be constructed. Then traffic will be shifted for work on the north bound lanes. All that shifting will take place in front of our entrance on Houston Levee. If something that residents see that causes a hazardous situation, please call the Town.
• Most of the trees on the east side of the road will be removed even though TOC is very sensitive to the situation. The Town will try to save as many as possible.

Questions/Answers:

• No signal light planned for AFP & WR at this time. Plans are to re-mark the intersection for a smother transition.

• Five foot sidewalks will be included for HL with a four foot grass strip between the sidewalks & curb.
• Widening will take place on both sides of current road.
• Speed limit will increase to 45.
• The Bushrod subdivision has had final approval. It will probably be near to being finished before the HL construction gets started.

Goals for 2007:

• Need more volunteers for our actives
• Convince dog walkers to pick up after their pets in the common areas, especially around the lakes. Provide bags and trash bins?
• Replace roof on Clubhouse.
• Paint remainder of mailboxes and lamp posts.
