<br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Ernie Clark, Interim City Manager <br /> <br />Shawn Napier, P.E. ~ Engineer / Director of Public Works <br />February 6, 2007 <br /> <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: U.S. 271 South Widening <br /> <br />The Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) has plans to widen U.S. 271 South, <br />from Loop 286 through Pattonville to County Road (CR) 15400. A location map is included that <br />shows the proposed construction area and the four typical sections. Also included is a detail of <br />typical section one and two. Typical section one shows a five lane section and typical section <br />two show a four lane divided section. The two sections will be transitioned just east of airport <br />road (F.M. 1508). The scheduled letting date is May 2009. <br /> <br />The first phase for TXDOT will be generating a working schematic (preliminary plan); <br />they hope to have this accomplished by August 2007. The next step will be preparing a Right- <br />of-Way (ROW) map; this will show all of the property owners and the amount of land that needs <br />to be purchased to widen the roadway. The ROW map will take approximately six months to <br />complete. The City of Paris will be responsible for 10% of the cost of purchasing new ROW. <br />TXDOT will estimate the ROW cost and give us a rough estimate of how much money we will <br />need to budget for this project. Given the current time line we would not need to budget the <br />money until the 2007-2008 budget. <br /> <br />Memo - TXDOT Hwy 271 South Widening 2-1-07 <br /> <br />r" . <br />
