Oakdale Road Farm-to-Market Roadway Improvement Project
|
A 2010 Transportation Bond Project
The goal of this project is to make improvements to Oakdale Road from Brookshire Boulevard to Dale Avenue to better serve the community and all roadway users including residents, businesses, motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users and commuters. Public input will be an integral part of this process.
A thorough review and analysis of existing conditions compared to current and future land uses and transportation needs will be conducted. Current and anticipated deficiencies will be identified in order to determine what improvements are needed to best serve the community.
Proposed improvements include:
-
bicycle lanes
-
sidewalks
-
planting strips
-
landscaping
-
curb and gutter
-
storm drainage infrastructure
-
parallel parking, medians, signalization, and crosswalks.
A map of the project limits are shown below.

Oakdale Road Farm-to-Market
This project will identify roadway infrastructure needs and deficiencies, recommend improvements that accommodate all modes of transportation, and develop a project design concept that supports existing and proposed land uses.
What's happened? The 1st public meeting was held on February 26, 2008 where area residents were given the opportunity to provide comments. A 2nd public meeting meeting was held on July 17, 2008. Area residents were able to provide comments, view conceptual plans, alternatives, and proposed typical street cross-sections.
The Project Team, through much deliberation, has decided to change the project limits to Brookshire Blvd. to Dale Avenue. A Design Contract with RS&H has been negotiated and approved by City Council on April 27th.
What's next? The survey team will wrap up their tasks the end of May 2009. Once the survey is reviewed, RS&H will begin design activities. The project design is scheduled to be complete in December 2010 and if the bond is approved in November 2010, we'll proceed to the Real Estate Acquisition phase.
We are planning to hold one, possibly two, public meetings during the Design Phase so residents in the area can see the design, ask questions, and provide comments. You'll receive an invitation to that meeting by mail.
