PROJECT NAME: Police Facility - Phase I
PROJECT ESTIMATE: $3,310,000
ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS:

This project provides for the expansion of PD operations into the space that will be vacated when Municipal Court moves into a new building. This expansion will meet short-term (5-10yr) space needs projected by the Police Department.
PROJECT NAME: Veterans Park and Athletic Complex, Phase II
PROJECT ESTIMATE: $5,623,000
ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS: $225,000

Build a new City Hall Building to house all existing City Hall functions plus growth and enhanced Council Chambers, Training Facility, EOC, and possibly space to accommodate moving departmental administrative functions to City Hall.
Phase I would only build space for a new Council Chambers and Parks administrative offices. Phase II would complete the project and would be built at a later date.
PROJECT NAME: Traffic Signals
PROJECT ESTIMATE: $2,250,000
ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS: $24,000

Installation of 15 new signals over a 5 year period when traffic volumes and conditions warrant. Probable locations include:
George Bush East at Holleman
Texas Ave. (BS 6-R) at Manuel
Welsh at Holleman
Texas Ave. (BS 6-R) at Krenek Tap

PROJECT NAME: RR Grade Separations
PROJECT ESTIMATE: $5,000,000
ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION:
Funds to provide City’s share of costs for railroad grade separations both on and off the State highway system
PROJECT NAME: Barron Road design & capacity improvements
PROJECT ESTIMATE: $3,000,000
ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS: $15,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION:
Design for the ultimate widening of Barron Road to a minor arterial from Hwy 6 to Wellborn Road. Do interim construction that would provide for left turn lanes at key intersections. The interim section would still be a rural road section with greater pavement width and left turn lanes. Construction of the ultimate road section would be done when traffic volumes warrant the full road section.
PROJECT NAME: Relocation of Fire Station 3
PROJECT ESTIMATE: $1,710,000
ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION:
Fire substation to serve areas of the city west of Highway 6 and south of Rock Prairie Road to the city limits. The station would be capable of housing 2 apparatus and up to 8 personnel. There would be 2 double-deep apparatus bays.
The basic layout will be similar to existing, with the addition of a 10' X 10' office for police department use, as an enhancement to the Community Policing program. This office should have a separate entrance from outside.
Our estimate is approximately 4,200 square feet of living/office space with larger living/dining and kitchen areas. Additional storage is included for equipment and materials warehousing. Warehouse area would be approximately 1000 square feet, including a 10' X 10' office area. With the bay and warehouse areas, Station 3 should be approximately 7,800 to 8000 square feet.
There should be 16 general parking spaces in addition to the required handicapped accessible space(s).
This station relocation is part of the Fire Protection Master Plan approved by Council in April 2000. The opening of Station 5 relieves response obligations west of Highway 6 from the current location. The advent of the Highway 6 access roads becoming one-way-only will preclude responding to the north of the current location without traversing through Shenandoah and other residential subdivisions adjacent to the Highway 6 corridor to the west. Development trends, including locations for an additional elementary and high school, indicate a large amount of development in the area south of Graham Road to Greens Prairie Road and west of Highway 6 to Welborn Road. Service demand will shift to this area.
PROJECT NAME: Traffic System Safety Improvements
PROJECT ESTIMATE: $500,000
ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION:

PROJECT NAME: Oversize Participation
PROJECT ESTIMATE: $2,700,000

Funds are provided in this category for thoroughfare extensions that will most likely be built by private developments.

PROJECT NAME: Greenway Development
PROJECT ESTIMATE: $ 1,000,000

This project is consistent with several City planning documents. The Thoroughfare Plan and Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan both indicate hike & bike facilities in areas throughout the City. The Greenways Master Plan provides for future trail development in urban & suburban greenways. The East by-pass Small Area Plan indicates that bike paths should be built along Carter Creek and the Gulf States Utility Easement on the east side of town. This project would provide funds to begin implementing those plans. By using these funds as the local match, additional funds might be available via various grants programs.
