Mobility Bond Project

West Keegans Bayou Improvement District (WKBID) adopted the attached resolution to:

Request Fort Bend County Commissioners Court to implement the infrastructure improvements as approved by voters in the Fort Bend County 2023 Bond Election.

Fort Bend County Precinct 4 has altered project designs for Gaines and Clodine roads (reduced them to two lane subdivision roads) to fund other projects.

Road Design Considerations:

Gaines and Clodine roads are currently classed as Collector roads on Fort Bend County GIS.
- The TXDOT Roadway Design Manual states that Collector roadways for all contexts should be designed to accommodate traffic projections for a 20-year period into the future.
Fort Bend County is one of the fastest growing counties in the nation. Projections show Fort Bend doubling in size by 2050.
- https://houstonlanding.org/fort-bend-county-is-expected-to-double-in-size-by-2050-is-it-going-to-be-ready/
The Central portion of Greater West Houston (Zone B; https://www.westhouston.org/sector-growth/) includes Four Corners, our neighborhood; it is in the fastest growing sector of Greater West Houston.

Ignoring projected future traffic flow needs will negatively impact the quality of life, property values, and safety of residents in Precinct 4.

Neighboring Precinct 3 roads (which include the southern extension of both Gaines and Clodine) are being designed to specifications in the descriptions of the FBC 2023 Mobility Projects presented at the time of the Bond Election.

Please join WKBID in petitioning Commissioner McCoy, Precinct 4, to honor the improvements that Fort Bend County voters approved and need as stated in the FBC 2023 Bond Election:

“Upgrade 2-lane asphalt segment to 3-lane concrete curb and gutter section with drainage improvements (Design, ROW, and Utilities only)”

Sugarland-Howell Road Improvements

Community servant and activist Amarjit Verma pursued diligently with County Commissioner Grady Prestage’s office to understand our neighborhoods and West Keegan Bayou Improvement District need to improve our areas infrastructure. As a result of his work, the County included Sugarland-Howell Road improvements in the Fort Bend County 2013 Mobility Projects. The project included adding 3,400 linear feet of road running between Bissonnet St and Old Richmond Road, trail underpass at the bayou bridge and included 6 feet wide trail worthy sidewalks on both sides of this road, completed in February 2019, and making it accessible to West Keegans Bayou Improvement District Hike and Bike trail system by building trail connections at Jehovah’s Witnesses Church on south side and Wastewater treatment plant on north side, this project was completed in February 2022.

Construction Advisory: Keegans Bayou Maintenance Project
Project ID: D118-00-00-X009

In an effort to keep you informed about the Harris County Flood Control District’s continuing improvements in the Brays Bayou watershed, we want to notify you of an upcoming project in your area.

In fall 2022, the Flood Control District will begin construction of a maintenance project along an approximate 2-mile stretch of Keegans Bayou from Kirkwood Drive to US 59. The project will address the channel conveyance capacity issues and restore the channel back to its original design capacity. The project is expected to remove approximately 50,000 cubic yards of sediment from the channel.

The contractor will use heavy construction equipment such as dump trucks, excavators and bulldozers. Motorists are urged to be alert to truck traffic when passing near construction access points and along truck routes. For safety reasons, hike and bike trail closures are also expected along Keegans Bayou from Kirkwood Drive to US 59 for the duration of the project.

The Flood Control District appreciates your patience through the duration of this project. More information about the Flood Control District’s maintenance projects can be found at hcfcd.org/maintenance. Should you have any questions or comments, please visit hcfcd.org/contact-us.
