end

body                

HEARING REQUIRED:  No Hearing Required

SUMMARY:

The purpose of the reallocation of funds is to create one funding source, for multiple projects, that are located within this small footprint of the 17^th Avenue Train Trestle, Wayside Park, and Bayou Texar.  The intent is to reconstruct the 17^th Avenue boat ramp parking area to allow for boats to be able to enter/exit without interfering with the train trestle overhead detection system. Additionally, we will construct a pedestrian bridge next to the Bayou, underneath the train trestle, to allow for safe access around 17^th Avenue. This will connect into the existing boardwalk, on the north side of the trestle, where the existing boardwalk and pavilion will undergo refurbishment that will extend the life of the asset. Further, the boat dock, at the boat ramp, will also undergo refurbishment to extend its useful life. Lastly, a fence will be constructed around the dredge spoils site, across from the boat ramp and the bait shop will be demolished.
