Town Center Mobility Project Lands $4 Million

Sugar Land, TX – State and federal grants totaling $4 million have been awarded for a pedestrian and bicycle project in the Town Center area.

The project is intended to provide safe, convenient access for pedestrians and bicyclists within Sugar Land’s business district, eventually connecting to a larger hike and bike trail system throughout the City.

The Texas Department of Transportation’s Transportation Enhancement program and the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality program will each provide approximately $2 million for the following improvements:
● Sidewalks and paths will be expanded to improve access between popular locations like Sugar Land Town Square, First Colony Mall and the AMC Theatre.
● 10-foot wide paths for bicyclists and pedestrians will be added on the north and southbound frontage roads along U.S. Highway 59 from Williams Trace Boulevard to Bullhead Slough, also known as “Ditch H.”
● Continental-style, or striped, crosswalks will be built at paths that intersect streets and driveways.
● Special enhancements, including illumination and pedestrian barriers, will be added at State Highway 6 and Sweetwater Boulevard to provide a safe passage under U.S. Highway 59.

The improvements will connect to the City’s existing and planned hike and bike trail network, offering more recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. This connectivity will ultimately provide pedestrian and bicycle access to the Town Center area from many areas around the City.

The improvements were originally identified in a study performed in 2007 by the City and the Houston-Galveston Area Council to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety and mobility in the City’s center.

Construction could begin as early as late 2011.
