ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Consider and take action on a Resolution in support of the Grand Parkway Segment B, C, and D.
BACKGROUND
The cities of Galveston County have been requested to support TXDOT (Texas Transportation Commission) keeping the Grand Parkway section between Brazoria/Fort Bend Counties and I-45 in Galveston County on their current projects list. There has been concern that TxDoT will remove the sections because the Lt. Gov. of Texas opposes toll roads. This section needs to continue on the funding list because of Hurricane evacuation, traffic congestion relief, and general accessibility.
