20 - Year Growth Plan - City of Kendleton

Recommendations

Info

5.0 TransportationKendleton’s transportation system is an essential component of the 20-Year Growth Plandue to the expected increases in truck and rail based traffic. The community iscentered on a major interstate interchange on US 59 with FM 2919, which directlyimpacts land development, commercial growth, and existing infrastructure. Land uses,both existing and future, determine the capacity and traffic flow of the roadways.Addressing transportation issues is a delicate balance between accommodating heavytraffic moving through the community and preserving Kendleton’s rural character andidentity.The purpose of this section is to assess Kendleton’s existing transportation systems andto provide recommendations for future improvements. Existing and previous areatransportation projects and plans are summarized herein. This discussion is followed bya thoroughfare analysis including an existing road inventory, assessment, and trafficvolume counts. Rail impacts and pedestrian connectivity are also assessed. Finally, atransportation plan illustrating short and long-term goals is presented. Detailedtransportation related recommendations discussed later in Section 11.5.1 Existing Area Transportation Projects and PlansInterstate 69 (I-69) ExtensionI-69 is a proposed interstate route, consisting of primarily existing highway footprints,extending from Michigan to Texas. Although there are several proposed alternatives forthe route northeast of the Houston Metro area, it is anticipated that I-69 will utilize theexisting US 59 footprint within and near Kendleton as shown in Figure 5-1.Figure 5-1. I-69 Segment Three Recommendations 120-Year Growth Plan 27
Section 5.0 TransportationThe I-69 Extension will be completed in phases over several years, and there are noplans for additional studies within Segment Three. Therefore, this transportation projectwill have no direct impacts to travel routes or land use patterns in Kendleton at thistime. Future lane widening within the current ROW will bring the total travel lanes to six.Fort Bend County Master Transportation PlanThe Fort Bend County Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) is a planning document amendedevery three to five years on average and was last amended in 2007. Since then, thepreviously proposed US 59 / FM 2919 interchange located in the center of Kendleton hasbeen constructed. As of July 2012, the Fort Bend County Engineering Office did notnote any changes in road designations listed on the plan within or near Kendleton.Therefore, the County does not show any changes to the Level of Service (LOS) oncounty roads within or near Kendleton. The County noted a proposed map amendmentfor the realignment of West Tavener Road east of Kendleton. However, as of thecompletion for this 20-year growth plan, no changes have been approved. The MTP isnot a construction plan, and there are no anticipated county road construction projectswithin the Kendleton ETJ at this time.Figure 5-2.
