Dear Mr. Cunningham:
We are proposing the reconstruction of the Frontage Roads and ramps of Loop 289
from FM 1730 (Slide Road) to University Avenue and the widening of FM 1730 at
Loop 289.
The reconstruction on Loop 289 will provide a consistent pavement design
throughout the project in conjunction with the ramps. Entrance and exit ramps
will be widened in order to meet current safety standards. In addition ramps bet-
ween Slide Road and Quaker will be reversed. This change will eliminate the
current queuing problem near those intersections.
The intersection at Slide Road and Loop 289 will be widened, this adding one
additional through lane in each direction. Also, concrete pavement approaches
will be placed on deceleration lanes in order to eliminate the present plastic
deformation of asphalt due to stopping loads.
The present horizontal and vertical alignment of both roadways will be main-
tained with the exception of the ramp reversals.
There are no floodplains or wetlands involved, and there are no known species of
endangered or threatened plants or wildlife in the area.
Mr. Larry Cunningham Page 2. May 9, 1988
No adverse effect is anticipated on any public water supply as a consequence of
the proposed project.
Based on previous experience with similar project, noise levels are not expected
to increase. During constructions, care will be taken to avoid undesirable
noise conditions to the extent possible. There are no know receptors in the
area of the project.
This project is scheduled for letting in September, 1988. We request your
your concurrence and signature of Mayor B. C. McMinn on the original Title Sheet.
Sincerely,
William M. Pope
District Engineer
