PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project would widen the existing FM 3097 (Horizon Road) from two 11-foot wide lanes (one in each direction) to four 12-foot wide lanes (two in each direction) separated by a raised median from Tubbs Road to FM 549, a distance of approximately 1.9 miles. An eight to 10-foot wide shared use path is proposed along both sides of FM 3097 within the project limits.
The project is anticipated to affect a portion of existing trail in the City of Heath that is protected under Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966. The trail is adjacent to FM 3097 from Little Buffalo Creek to FM 549. The project would reconstruct a portion of the trail across the tributary of Little Buffalo Creek to accommodate a proposed culvert extension. No modifications are proposed to the trail from the tributary of Little Buffalo Creek to FM 549. Public comment on the effects of the proposed project on the activities, features or attributes of the trail are requested.
