The purpose of this project was to convert the existing at-grade crossing of Brazoria County Road 56 (CR 56) and State Highway 288 (SH 288) into a diamond interchange that includes a new overpass bridge. Coordination with TXDOT, area landowners, utility companies, and Brazoria County was integral in obtaining approval and acceptance of the project.
EHRA worked with the District to create a comprehensive Parks Master Plan, which included recommendations for the development of over two miles of hike/bike trails adjacent to local streets, and within flood control and utility pipeline easements. The District began implementation of the Plan by prioritizing the beautification of West Road, a major arterial street that runs through the District.
EHRA assisted with the district creation of Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 126 to accommodate a ±329 acre master planned community located in northern Montgomery County in the City of Conroe, south of League Line Road, west of Longmire Road, and adjacent to Lake Conroe.
EHRA planners, hydrologists and landscape architects worked together to propose an alternative use for the space, re-developing the basin into an amenity pond. EHRA carefully selected native plant materials for both their ability to survive in the harsh conditions of the basin as well as providing filtration for improved storm water quality.
Identified as a top priority during the development of the District’s Parks Master Plan, this portion of trail was the first phase of over two miles of planned trails to provide connectivity and recreation for District residents.
The Governor has declared May 20-24, 2019 as "Texas Flood Awareness Week." Texas Flood Awareness Week (TxFAW) brings awareness to the citizens of Texas of the dangers that flooding can present. Flash flooding is the number one weather-related killer in Texas with more than 50% of all flash flood fatalities nationwide involving vehicles.
What is a flash flood? Take action! A Flash Flood is flooding that begins within 3 - 6 hours of heavy rainfall. Flash flooding occurs quickly, and catches most people off guard.
What is a flood watch? Be prepared! A Flood Watch is issued when conditions are favorable for flooding. It does not mean flooding will occur, but it is possible.
What is a flood warning? Take action! A Flood Warning is issued when the hazardous weather is imminent or already happening.
