The purpose of this letter is to officially file an intent to submit a nomination for the 2005-2006
Texas Department of Transportation Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program. The
following is a brief project description including cost:
Project Description:
Streetscape beautification of a one (1) mile segment of Regis Street (F.M. 2641) extending east
from Interstate Highway 27 to Martin Luther King Boulevard.
This project is the second phase of a two phase landscape and open space development project
designed to enhance the visual corridor or primary approach to and from the airport and the city.
The Regis Street phase calls for the removal of scattered commercial land uses mixed with lower
income residential land uses of varying densities, outside storage of junk and debris and
miscellaneous non -conforming uses. The plan calls for these uses to be replaced with open space
and dense plantings of large trees and natural grasses. An irrigation system is also included and
additional interest will be achieved with smaller, colorful flowering trees at certain locations
along the route. The street itself will be "dressed" up with the addition of concrete curb and
gutter. The project will present an open "park -like" environment. The planned trees, along with
open space, will present a beautiful setting and spectacular entrance along the corridor to the
airport that will give a positive first impression of our community to new visitors.
