AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
ITEM SUBMITTED BY: Ed Hard, Transportation Planner
FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF :
ITEM : Presentation and discussion of the College Station Bikeway Master Plan (BMP).
ITEM SUMMARY : Bikeways have been identified as a Council issue for the last couple of years. Staff
previously addressed this issue with the development of the Bikeway Ordinance in August of 1992. Upon
completion of the ordinance, our next step was to develop a BMP.
The BMP was developed over a period of months using established bikeway planning and design principles.
The majority of proposed bikeways on the plan were ridden and field verified by a former member of staff
who is on the A&M Cycling Team. Some of the areas considered in developing the plan include existing
biking patterns; on-street parking; the location of schools, parks, and multifamily housing; traffic
volumes/conditions; and street pavement and right-of-way widths.
A bikeway focus group was developed to review and discuss the BMP. It included a representative from the
City of Bryan, Texas A&M University, the Texas Department of Transportation, the Texas Bicycle Coalition,
the College Station Independent School District, the CSISD Parent Teacher Organization, the Texas A&M
Cycling Team, and the local traffic engineering community. The focus group revised and added numerous
bikeways to the plan.
Over the past few months, the development the BMP has generated a good deal of public interest, input,
and support. The Texas Bicycle Coalition, a bicycle advocacy group based in Austin, is in support of the plan
and has been promoting it throughout the community.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS : The P&Z unanimously approved the BMP but voiced concern over the
amount and sources of money to implement the plan. Staff also recommends approval.
. FINANCIAL SUMMARY : It is important for the City to adopt a Bikeway Master Plan in order for us to qualify
for federal money available for building bikeways. In a subsequent item, staff will request Council
consideration on two grant applications for federal money to fund two bikeway projects in College Station.
CITY ATTORNEY RECOMMENDATIONS: NA

Blkeway Master Plan
Attached find a copy of the draft Bikeway Master Plan. Once adopted by Council, it will serve as a guideline
for the development of blkeways in College Station. Staff requests your review, comment and
recommendation on this plan prior to it going to Council for their consideration.
Bikeways have been identified as a Council issue for the past couple of years. Staff first addressed this
issue last August by developing a blkeway ordinance. It requires that bikeways be developed in accordance
with a bikeway master plan and establishes blkeway design standards. The blkeway ordinance was
unanimously supported by the P&Z and was subsequently adopted by Council. However, in order for it to be
of value, a blkeway master plan is needed.
The draft bikeway master plan was developed over a period of the past few months. Staff was fortunate to
have a student intem who was an avid cyclist and a member of the Texas A&M Cycling Team play a key
role in putting it together. The draft plan identifies the general locations of bike rOutes, lanes, and paths.
Some of the areas considered in developing the plan include existing biking patterns; on-street parking; the
location of schools, parks, and multifamily housing; traffic volumes/conditions; and, street pavement and
right-of-way widths.
A bikeway focus group was formed to review and discuss the bikeway plan. The focus group included a
representative from the City of Bryan, Texas A&M University, the Texas Department of Transportation, the
Texas Bicycle Coalition, the College Station Independent School District, the CSISD Parent Teacher
Organization, the Texas A&M Cycling Team, and the local traffic engineering community. The group met
twice and suggested adding numerous bikeways to the plan. Copies of the meeting minutes and their
suggested revisions are attached.
It is important that the City adopt a bikeway master plan in the near future in order for us to qualify for federal
money available for building bikeways. Staff is currently working on two grant applications for bikeway
projects in College Station. Under a recent federal transportation bill, millions of dollars have been set aside
for transportation "enhancement" activities such as bikeways. In order for a City to be eligible for this money,
the proposed project must be part of the community's bikeway master plan. Staff will provide details on our
proposed bikeway enhancement projects at the meeting.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Consideration of a final plat of the College Station Business Center Phase One
generally located along State Highway 6 adjacent to the Pebble Creek Subdivision. (93-229)
City Engineer Pullen presented the staff report and recommended approval of the final plat as revised after the
?resubmission Conference. All items referenced in the ?resubmission Conference Report have been addressed.
City Engineer Pullen informed the Commission that Director of Development and Economic Services Elrey Ash is
the project manager for the business park. He has requested an exemption to the sidewalk location section of
the subdivision ordinance. The ordinance requires sidewalks to be placed within the rights-of-way unless an
exemption is granted by the City Council after a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission. It is
the plan of this development to construct the sidewalk within a 30' wide public landscape, access and
underground utility easement along each side of the streets. The proposed plan creates a more desirable
streetscape than the traditional "sidewalk against the back of curb" approach. It will also allow greater flexibility
for the location of utilities by allowing more space to avoid conflicts. As an easement rather than right-of-way, it
will place less public encumbrance on the land and allow greater private use and responsibility for maintenance.
Commissioner Mariott moved to recommend approval of the final plat of the College Station Business Center
with staff recommendations including the granting of the requested sidewalk variance. Commissioner Lane
seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 -0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Discussion and consideration of the proposed Bikeway Master Plan. (93-817)
Transportation Planner Hard presented the proposed Bikeway Master Plan and gave a brief history of the
project. Bikeways have been identified as a City Council issue for the past couple of years. Staff first addressed
this issue last August by developing a bikeway ordinance. It requires that bikeways be developed in accordance
with a bikeway master plan and establishes bikeway design standards. The bikeway ordinance was unanimously
supported by the Commission and was subsequently adopted by the City Council; however, in order for it to be of
value, a bikeway master plan is needed. The draft bikeway master plan was developed over a period of the past
few months. The draft plan identifies the general locations of bike routes, lanes and paths. Some of the areas
considered in developing the plan include existing biking patterns; on-street parking; the location of schools, parks
and multifamily housing; traffic volumes/conditions; and street pavement and right-of-way widths. A bikeway
focus group was formed to review and discuss the bikeway plan. The focus group included a representative from
the City of Bryan, Texas A&M University, the Texas Department of Transportation, the Texas Bicycle Coalition,
the College Station Independent School District, the CSISD Parent Teacher Organization, the Texas A&M
Cycling Team and the local traffic engineering community. The group met twice and suggested adding numerous
bikeways to the plan. It is important that the City adopt a bikeway master plan in the near future in order for us
to qualify for federal money available for building bikeways. Staff is currently working on two grant applications
for bikeway projects in College Station. Under a recent federal transportation bill, millions of dollars have been
set aside for transportation "enhancement" activities such as bikeways. In order for a City to be eligible for this
money, the proposed project must be part of the community's bikeway master plan. The two projects that staff
would like to apply for is first, the College Station Bike Loop. This loop connects five city parks, Texas A&M
University, Post Oak Mall and high density residential areas. The loop establishes paths, lanes and routes that
would require some major engineering structures such as going under Texas Avenue and bridges. The second
project is a bikeway suitability map that rates streets in terms of their difficulty for bicycle riders, amount of
traffic, etc. This map would be an enormous help to bicyclists that are not familiar with this area. The proposed
map would give bicycle safety tips, list bicycle laws and show out of town routes of surrounding areas to allow for
tours of more serious cyclists.
Commissioner Hall expressed concern of addressing some basic problems prior to encouraging bicycling and
pedestrian traffic in certain areas of town. One problem is that when signals change at major intersections, there
is not enough time allowed for bicyclists and pedestrians to cross.
Transportation Planner Hard stated that this point was brought up in the focus group meeting as well. There are
engineering solutions that can be implemented to relieve many of these problems. Staff will have to work with
the signal division to possibly re-phase a signal or install pedestrian crossing lights.
Commissioner Hall sugges ted that the City designate bikeways along low vehicle volume streets and spend the
capital necessary to improve these streets for the purpose of bicycling. Rather than try to force bicycles and
pedestrians onto streets busy with vehicle traffic, the City should look at relocating the bicycle and pedestrian
traffic onto lesser streets.
P & Z Commission September 16, 1993 Page 3
Commissioner Hall explained that the area around Oakwood School and the traffic along George Bush Drive is a
major traffic problem area in the City. Commissioner Hall suggested that in the future, sidewalks near schools be
built to accommodate the additional traffic in the area. The 4' sidewalks provided in some areas of town are not
adequate for the increased traffic around schools and parks.
Chairman Hawthorne opened the public hearing.
Bill Kling of Kling Engineering stated that he would be interested in looking at the cost of implementing the
proposed plan. The plan may look great on paper; however, the cost may not be realistic.
Bob Richardson, the District Design Engineer for the Texas Highway Department, approached the Commission
and stated that the plan is an essential tool in planning future state. highway projects in College Station. If this
plan were in effect pri()r to the F.M. 2818 extension, the necessary bikeways could have been constructed with the
street and would have been much cheaper to install initially.
Denise Houser, a local representative of the Texas Bicycle Coalition informed the Commission that she has lived
in College Station for over ten years. Ms. Houser served on the bikeway focus group and spent many long hours
with the other members devising the plan. The benefits of the plan are many such as increased safety for
pedestrians, motorists and bicyclists. Every bike trip reduces the vehicle congestion and pollution in the area.
Other benefits of the plan include providing a bicycle friendly community, an increase in local tourism and a
higher community quality of life.
Chairman Hawthorne questioned Ms. Houser as to her thoughts on a bicycle licensing fee to help pay the costs of
providing bikeways.
Ms. Houser informed the Commission that the city of Austin is moving towards requiring a fee. Most bicyclists
are not opposed to a fee or license; in fact, most bicyclists, excluding children, also drive motor vehicles. A
reasonable licensing and registration fee would help legitimize the group in sharing the roadway.
Commissioner Hall stated that if the City is going to push bikeways, a fee should be asked of the participants in
order to finance such an extensive bike plan.
Commissioner Lane stated that he could not imagine a fee being adequate to cover the costs associated with the
Bikeway Plan taking into consideration administrative and enforcement costs.
Commissioner Hall moved to recommend approval of the proposed Bikeway Master Plan with all comments and
recommendations made during the discussion. Commissioner Lane seconded the motion which passed unopposed
(5 -0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Other business.
Commissioner Hall expressed concern of the City working more closely with the University on traffic related
issues. Since the University is moving more classes to Tuesdays and Thursdays to allow for a longer weekend,
there will be traffic problems on these days of the week. Commissioner Hall also suggested that the cities of
Bryan and College Station work together to commit to a park in the honor of Jack Miller of Brazos Beautiful
who helped make this area a nicer place to live.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Adjourn.
Commissioner Mariott moved to adjourn the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Commissioner
Lane seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 -0).

DATE: September 2, 1993
RE: Bikeway Master Plan Revisions
Attached please find a copy of the revised bikeway master plan. It shows the changes to the draft bikeway
plan resulting from our meetings and re11ects, as best as possible, the focus group's cumulative input
The Focus Group suggested adding numerous bikeways to the plan and had other general areas of
concern. They were as follows:
Bikeway on Southwest Parkway;
Bikeway on Rock Prairie Road;
Bikeway on Welsh to Bush at Houston;
Change bike route on Glade to bike lane;
Continue bikeway on Longmire from Alrtine to Valley View;
Continue bike route on FM 2818 from Longmire to Emerald Parkway;
Bikeway connection between Dominik and Appomattox;
Bikeway comettion between Woodstone area, Post Oak Mall, and surrounding
apartments;
Bikeway access to South Knoll Elementary;
Bikeway access to Oakwood Middle and Jr. High Schools;
Bikeway kcess to Southwood Athletic Complex, A&M Jr. High School, and Rock Prairie
8ementary;
Safety improvements for bicyclists at the Texas/Bush, Bush/Anderson, SH 30/E. Bypass,
and Texas/FM 2818 intersections; and,
Safety improvements for bicyclists at all signalized intersections.
As suggested by the focus group, a fourth category has been added to the plan for roadways that should be
designated as a bikeway but are not due to a lack of street width and/or right-of-way to safely accommodate
bicyclists. Please review the revised bikeway plan and forward any additional comments to me prior to
Friday, September 1oth. The Bikeway Master Plan Is scheduled to go to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for their consideration on September 16, 1993. You are all welcome to attend.
The Development Services Staff would like to thank each of you for serving on the Bikeway Focus Group.
Your volunteered time and effort is greatly appreciated.

Ed Hard opened the meeting by explaining that the purpose of the bikeway focus group was "to
gain input and support and coordinate our efforts with the sectors of the community that have an
interest in bikeways and that should be a party to the development of a Bikeway Master Plan in
College Station.•
Mr. Hard said that a bicycle friendly community and the bikeway master plan have been a council
priority for the past couple of years. He explained that a such a plan is needed in order for the
City to qualify to compete for federal money available for bikeways. He noted that there were 4
•E•s• of bikeway planning .... Engineering, Education, Enforcement, and Encouragement and said
that the focus group would primarily be looking at the engineering aspect.
Mr. Hard said there were four areas of focus group input that we needed. These include
identifying needs and opportunities, identifying problems and constraints, providing suggestions
and solutions, and providing support for the bikeway master plan.
For informational purposes, Ed Hard then presented slide!;i Jo explain the City's current bikeway
ordinance and to define the different types of bikeways to the focus group. He noted that in order
for the current ordinance to be of value, a bikeway master plan is needed. He said the ordinance
needs to be amended to require new and re-development to install bikeway parking facilities.
Mr. Hard then presented staff's draft Bikeway Master Plan and passed out individual copies of the
plan to the group along while he explained.
George Dresser asked about having a bikeway on Welsh straight through to Bush at Houston.
Focus Meeting 1, Page 2
Ed Hard stated that this street has a narrow paved section and little right of way. He noted that
this street extension is not on the City's thoroughfare plan but that it had been proposed by staff a
number of times. Marla Fendley added that the area lends itself to routes because of the
neighborhood streets and the drivers do not drive with an attitude that would cause bikers to get
off the street.
Ed Hard indicated that the black dots on the plan were schools and that we would like to
coordinate with the CSISD. He also mentioned the bike lanes planned on College Main to the
Bryan City Limit and the bike paths planned through Hensel Park (an area owned by the
University) and said that CS needs coordination as well from the University and the City of Bryan.
Ed Hard then presented results from the City's sidewalk/bikeway survey. Several questions were
asked about the types of questions asked on the survey and about the results from certain zones
in the survey. Ed Hard said that he did not recall at this time, but would have this information at
the next meeting.
It was asked if in those areas with lesser support, were we planning fewer or no facilities and if
there was weak support in an area would bikeways be located elsewhere. Ed Hard pointed out
:·::::':: that the survey did not have an area where there was weak support.
There was a question about whether the attitude of the area determined whether it was a route or
lane. Marla Fendley stated that the first priority of a bikeway is safety. When there was no
pressing need for a lane it was designated as a route. Ed Hard added that existing on-street
parking was a major consideration in determining route verses lane designation on a street.
It was asked if the City had looked into the various types of users, such as commuters,
recreational users and enthusiasts. Ed Hard said that the type of user was considered in
developing the draft bikeway master plan.
Bob Richardson asked if a stress evaluation test was performed on Southwest Parkway. Ed Hard
stated that it had not because that requires a lot more detail. He explained to the group that a
stress test is used to rate streets by stress which rates them for bicycle use as easy, moderate, or
hard.
It was pointed out that Southwest Parkway was not a route on the draft master plan. Mr. Hard
stated that by ordinance we can't sign it as a route because the outside lane must be a minimum
of 13'6".
It was asked that if Southwest Parkway was resurfaced and re-striped if a route could be added.
Ed Hard said no because there is simply not enough paved section to safely accommodate bikers
on this street. It was stated that Southwest Parkway is a big problem and that there has been a
many close calls.
It was asked if there were routes used by people riding 20-40 miles at a time. Ed Hard said no,
not as a part of this Master Plan but that we plan to do something similar to what the City of
Focus Meeting 1, Page 3
Austin did. He said that on their bike map (not plan) they provide a separate map which includes
the entire county and perhaps surrounding counties which shows "touring• routes for avid cyclists.
It was noted that, at one time, Glade had a bike lane on it but it has since been removed. Now
there is no safe way to get to Oakwood and parents are having to drop off there children every
morning. It was added that the Oakwood school increases the traffic problem on Holleman and
Anderson.
With the Oakwwood school in mind, Ed Hard pointed out that a bike path is planned for Kyle. If in
the future Kyle is widened, staff would recommend that a bike path be installed as part of this
project. He also added that the existing 2-way bike lane on Bush is planned to be converted to
one-way lanes with the westbound lanes located on the north side of the street. This means that
parking will have to be removed on Bush. He said this change is needed to get the Bush bike
lane up to current engineering design standards and to remove the potential liability incurred to
the City due to the current substandard design.
It was asked if the draft plan only considered bikeways that could be put on existing streets. Mr.
Hard said no, that the plan is intended to serve as a guide for Mure bikeway development and it
should not be limited by today's existing street system.
There was concern for the existing unsafe conditions for bicyclists at the Bush/Texas intersection.
There was also a similar concern for the Anderson/Bush intersection for when the 2;way lane is
converted to 1-way lanes on each side of the Bush. George Dresser agreed with Ed Hard that
two way bike lanes aren't a good idea. It was suggested that safety for bicyclists at these
intersections could be improved with engineering solutions.
Claude Cunningham commented that we should plan bikeways with future school population
distribution in mind.
Ed Hard said that although the location of future school sites are not definite, it would be
beneficial to work with the CSISD in our bikeway planning. He pointed out that the reason there
are not as many bikeways to the south on the draft plan is that we had primarily followed our
thoroughfare plan for this area. He said since it only shows collector and arterial type streets (no
residentiaQ we were only able to plan for bikeways on these streets. He added that as this area
develops we'll then be able to add more bike routes to the system.
It was asked if when the term "project" is used, does it mean that work other than bikeway
signage and marking is being looked at. Ed Hard stated that in our capital projects we are at the
point where at every opportunity we provide for bikeways and that this could be a bike route, lane,
or path, whatever is deemed most appropriate.
Ed Hard passed out a hand-out on "implied warranty•. He said that when the City designates a
bikeway and thereby invites the public to use it, we are offering the public an implied warranty
Focus Meeting 1, Page 4
that the facility is safe and suitable for that use. He wanted everyone to keep that in mind when
considering the location and type of bikeway (route, lane, or path) on the bikeway master plan.·
Mr. Appleton noted that when government entities are doing road work on a street with a
bikeway, if there is a detour involved, than a detour shoul_d be provided for bikes as well.
Ed Hard asked everyone to to tum to page 5 in the handout which lists all of the things that must
be considered before signing a bikeway, such as directness, driveways, parking, safety, etc.
Ranga Parasuraman said that there is a need for a lane on Glade, that first and second graders
bike to school and can't use the sidewalk because it is too narrow.
Bob Appleton said that parents should not allow children less than nine to ride in the street
because they do not have the where with all to make the decisions needed to ride safely in the
street.
It was asked if sidewalks should be signed as bike routes? Ed Hard said no, that current design
standards discourage the use combination bike/sidewalks.
Ranga Parasuraman said that Southwest Parkway and Southknoll school need facilities because
there are small kids biking to school. She said that they can't use the sidewalks because of kids
walking. It was stated that there is a bike route that crosses Southwest Parkway. Kids use the
crossing guard to cross the street and then use the sidewalks.
It was noted that Southwest Parkway was one of the original bikeways and now it's gone due to
the increase in traffic. With this in mind, it was asked that if when traffic counts increase would the
City remove bike lanes to accommodate vehicles or would we widen the street and keep the bike
lanes? Marla Fendley stated we should design future road to accommodate bike facilities. Ed
Hard added that this decision would be based on priorities and dollars and could become a
council decision.
Mr. Dresser said that this is what the ISTEA (lntermqdal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of
1991) legislation is all about and the acknowledgement that there are other forms of
transportation. There needs to be attention drawn spending dollars on other forms of
transportation other than just the traditional one.
It was pointed out that there is another focus group meeting which is looking at BCS and what it
should look like 30 years down the road. These needs need to be placed in the community vision
building process.
With no other comments, Ed Hard closed the meeting. He asked everyone to take their copy of
the draft bikeway master plan back to their respective organizations and review it with whomever
they deemed appropriate. He sked them to bring it back to the next meeting in two weeks with
their comments, suggestions, proposed changes, etc.

Ed Hard opened the meeting by reviewing what was discussed during the previous meeting. He
answered questions from the previous meeting concerning the bikeway survey. He then ask the
group to comment on the proposed bikeway master that they had the ·opportunity to review for the
last two weeks.
Claude Cunningham voiced his concern about Rock Prairie Road and the accessibility to
Southwood Athletic Center and the school. He also stated that he wants the city, in some form of
written language, to commit to providing protected bike ways around all CSISD schools.
Ed Hard explained the difficulty In doing this with the current limitations of lack of street pavement
width and ROW on Rock Prairie Road. He suggested the possibility of an off-street bike path from
Welsh to Rio Grande.
Bob Richardson pointed out that TXDOT has Bush from FM 2154 to FM 2818 under
consideration for lanes as part of a future widening project. He also pointed out that the Texas
Ave./ FM 2818 area needs attention.
Claude Cunningham pointed out that the section of Longmire in front of Walmart to and across
2818 needs bikeway facilities. He also suggested that there should be a "fourth category•, for
those areas where there is no current solution.
Focus Meeting 2, Page 2
Bob Richardson suggested including section of 2818 from Longmire to Emerald Parkway as a
Bike route.
Claude Cunningham voiced his concern over the lack of bikeway facilities on Southwest Parkway
and around the Southknoll Elementary area. He said that this was an area that needed to be
addressed -perhaps fitting into the "fourth category".
George Dresser asked Ed Hard what the time frame for implementation was for the Bikeway
master plan. Mr. Hard replied that there isn't one, just as there isn't one for the thoroughfare plan.
Mr. Dresser suggested that the bikeway master plan be addressed in a similar fashion as the
thoroughfare plan, as not to confuse funding with needs.
Bob Richardson suggested that short verses long range bikeway plans be established and
documented so that when he is old, gray and forgetful he wont forget the intentions of this project.
Danise Houser expressed a concern over the legality of bicyclists traveling along undesignated
routes. Ed Hard assured her that bicycles will be able to travel legally on roads that are not
!!\~;:~,. designated as a bikeways (with the exception of streets where, by ordinance, bicycles are
prohibited).
Ed Hard went over minor revisions that were made to the bikeway master plan since the first
bikeway focus group meeting.
Marla Fendley then presented staff's current work on the city's grant application for federal
transportation enhancement money to construct bikeways in College Station.
Ed Hard pointed out the proposed bike lanes on Anderson (as part of the enhancement project.)
Claude Cunningham said that keeping the parked cars on Anderson out of the bike lanes during
soccer season would be difficult.
Danise Houser pointed out that the concern among those with whom she has spoken is the
provision of the necessary support in the way of signage, maintenance, education, public support,
as well as signage in order for the Bikeway Master Plan to work.
Ed Hard addressed the issue of education and hoped that the CSISD would be willing to work
towards an education program.
George Dresser wanted to know if crossing guards were the schools or the cities responsibility.
Ed Hard replied that it was a joint effort between the City and CSISD.
Ranga Parasuraman said that at one time parents volunteered to act as crossing guards, but the
legal liabilities forced them to stop.
Focus Meeting 2, Page 3
Ed Hard Inquired about the past programs in which the schools had police come in to speak to
the students.
Ranga Parasuraman said that parents should be involved otherwise they will not allow their
children to use the bikeway facilities. She suggested that the parents be reached through school
hand outs and school open houses.
Claude Cunningham said that he and Ranga Parasuraman presented the bikeway master plan to
the Partners In Education volunteers and that they are aware of the cities efforts.
He strongly encouraged the City to contact the parents of College Hills and Oakwood students for
their input.
George Dresser suggested that a connection between Dominik and Appomattox be made where
Dominik dead ends.
Bob Richardson suggested that a "fourth category• project be one that connected Woodstone
shopping area, the Mall, and the surrounding apartments with bikeways and sidewalks.
George Dresser asked if the City had planned to do a bikeway compatibility map that was similar
to Austin's.
Ed Hard stated that he had contacted the Texas Bicycle Coalition and they said that they would
be willing to create this type of map for the City ijust as they did for the City of Austin).
Mr. Hard asked the focus group if there were any more comments, suggestions, or questions. He
told the group that staff would review and consider all of the comments and concerns voiced
during this and the last meeting and revise the bikeway master plan to reflect, as best as
possible, the input from the bikeway focus group.
Mr. Hard informed the group that staff planned to bring the Bikeway Master Plan to the Planning
and Zoning Commission in September. He said that prior to this however he would send all focus
group members a copy of the revised plan to provide them an additional opportunity to comment
on the plan prior to it going to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Stand Up For Bikeways
with
The Texas Bicycle Coalition and Freebirds World Burrito
College Station's Bikeway Master Plan goes to city council for a vote this month. TBC and
Freebirds are mobilizing community support for this plan, and we need your help. Our goals are to
obtain 2,000 signatures in support of the plan and to have 50 people attend the presentation to
council (Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers).
What is the bikeway plan?
The bikeway plan (designed by the city, TBC and local citizens this summer) designates both
existing and planned (1) on-road routes, (2) on-road lanes, and (3) off-road paths for bicycle use
throughout College Station. Specifically, adoption of the plan will:
* provide signed, marked bike facilities for citizens of all ages bicycling for both
recreation and transportation. These facilities will receive increased attention to
bike-friendly design and maintenance.
* guarantee College Station's eligibility for over $1,000,000 in federal funding granted
specifically for bike facilities.
How will the bike way plan benefit me?
The plan will render bike travel safer, easier, more efficient and more attractive to local
citizens. Bicycle-actuated traffic signals, bike bridges over currently impassable creeks, and
bikeway crossings under Texas Avenue alongside a creek are featured in the plan. Maps of city
bikeways will be produced. Additional bike paths in parks and conversion of abandoned railroad
corridors into bike paths are included as well .
Every citizen will benefit from bikeway plan adoption, not just bicyclists. When bicycle
trips are substituted for car trips, the social, health and environmental benefits translate into
considerable economic benefits. The general public benefits from reduced air pollution, oil
imports, traffic congestion and delayed attainment of road capacity. In fact, capital investment
savings to the public can amount to over $1 per bicycle mile traveled.
What comes next?
TBC and Freebirds believe the adoption of College Station's bikeway plan is a first step towards
encouraging bicycling in Bryan/College Station. To fully realize the potential of bicycle use,
other steps must be taken, such as shared roadway education for bicyclists and motorists alike,
the provision of bike parking facilities, community events which focus on cycling, and much
more. We invite you to join TBC and Freebirds in building this vision.
For more information on how you can help, call TBC's local coordinator, Danise Hauser, at
260-1266 .

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The College Station Bike Loop is a combination of bikeways approximately seven miles in length made up of
bike paths, lanes and routes. It provides connection and access between Texas A&M, numerous apartments
and neighborhoods, a regional mall, eight city parks, an amphitheater, and College Station's Amtrak Station.
Key features for the bike loop's continuity and safety include seven new bridges for creek crossings and bike
path crossings under three of the City's largest thoroughfares.
The project calls for development of new bike paths to run along the perimeter of College Station's Central
Park. The path along the east side of this park will extend south along the SH 6 East Bypass until reaching
Emerald Parkway, an entrance to one of College Station's largest subdivisions. Krenek Tap Road borders
the north side of Central Park. This street is currently undergoing reconstruction and widening and will
include bike lanes when completed. West of Central Park, a bike path will connect with Krenek Tap Road
and then tum south along the perimeter of city property until reaching and going under Texas Avenue via an
existing box culvert. Once on the west side of Texas Ave., the path will go two directions. Going south, a
new bridge will be installed going over Bee Creek to a bike path where it will terminate at a major
recreational area that includes a putt-putt golf, bumper boats, and batting cages. Going north, the path will
go along Texas Avenue in front of the City's Arboretum and then tum west and continue along city property
until reaching Bee Creek Park. Bee Creek serves as a barrier between the park and residential areas to the
south and west. A short path extension and new bridge will provide access between these areas.
The path in Bee Creek Park will continue northwest until reaching and going under Southwest Parkway.
Once on the north side of this thoroughfare, the path continues north through Lemontree Park, a linear
greenbelt, until reaching Anderson Street. Again, Bee Creek serves as a barrier for residential areas to the
west. A small path extension with a new bridge across Bee Creek will provide access for this residential area
to the Bike Loop and Lemontree Park. The bike loop will continue with the installation of bike lanes on
Anderson Street from Lemontree Park to the A&M campus at George Bush Drive. The current two-way bike
lane along the south side of Bush will be changed to one-way bike lanes on both sides of this street as part
of this project. The new, more safely designed bike lanes will extend along Bush from Marion Pugh Street
where the Amtrak Station is located east to Texas Avenue.
Once reaching Texas Avenue, the loop will be continued with a bikeway that will be installed as part of the
TXDOrs widening of this roadway. From Texas Avenue, bike lanes will be installed in the Eastgate area
along both Lincoln and Walton Streets in order to facilitate the large number of students who bike to and
from campus in this area. From Walton Street the bike loop will continue south through this residential area
and Oaks Park until reaching S.H. 30 where a bike path will go under this arterial via a box culvert. The bike
path will then continue east along S.H. 30 in front of two large condominium complexes until turning south
along a utility easement that runs directly adjacent to Post Oak Mall and a large apartment complex. A new
bridge will connect the apartment complex with the bike loop system and the Mall. The path along the utility
easement will extend to Holleman Street and from there a bike path will go through the Wolf Pen Creek Park
and by the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater. This bike path will exit the park and connect with bike lanes to be
installed on Central Park Lane and continue until reaching Southwest Parkway. The final leg to complete the
bike loop will be a bike path to extend from Southwest Parkway to Central Park, the location of origin.
In sum, the proposed Bike Loop project calls for 4.1 miles of new bike paths, 3.8 miles of new bike lanes,
seven new bike path bridges, and three grade separated bike crossings going under three of the City's
widest and busiest thoroughfares. Importantly, the bike loop will serve both commuter and recreational
bicyclists by virtue of new bike lanes adjacent and approaching the Texas A&M campus and new bike path
through city park areas. The project is located primarily on City and State property and requires very little
land acquisition. The bike loop system is in accordance with the City's Bikeway Master Plan and was
developed considering AASHTO design requirements for bikeway facilities. All bikeways and related
structures in this project can and will be designed to meet AASHTO standards.

PART Ill. PROJECT BENEFITS, IMPACTS, AND PUBLIC SUPPORT.
NOMINATION
FORM
A. PROJECT USE AND BENEFITS. Describe below the benefits of the proposed project.
Description should indude expected use of any facilities involved and should compare current use
with expected use and projected demand for use of the those facilities.
Project Use -The potential is there for College Station to have one of the highest percentages of bicyclists
per capita 1n the nation and become the most "Bicycle Friendly" community in the State. Compared to other
university cities, College Station is a small community despite the fact that it is home to the fourth largest
University in the country. Its geographic smallness makes bicycle commuting in College Station a very
feasible mode of transportation. The general close proximity of off-campus student and faculty housing
areas to the Texas A&M campus is a the primary reason for the current high amount bike use in the city. The
1980 census showed that there were 1,447 workers (excluding A&M students) in our area commuting by
bicycle. A recent traffic count on one street providing access to campus showed that for every three cars
there was one bike. This street had an auto ADT of about 5, 000 and bike ADT of 1, 700. A recent survey on
the A&M campus indicated that 1 out of every 4 students use a bike. This relates to an additional 10,000
potential bike users on city facilities. College Station is "ripe" for the development of new bicycle facilities
and the City is committed to providing them.
Project Benefits -The bike loop project has numerous economic, environmental, and social benefits. The
current substandard design of the two-way bike lane on George Bush Drive is a potential liability to the City.
Replacing this substandard design with 1-way lanes on both sides of the street as part of this project could
potentially save the City millions. The culvert crossings under busy city streets and bridges crossings over
creeks greatly improve the project's safety which in tum can be translated into an economic benefit Other
economic benefits include linking residential areas with major commercial areas, easing parking problems,
and improving the City's image as a bicycle friendly community. The bike loop will enhance and increase
bike use and therefore improve environmental conditions. Bikes make little noise and for every 100 miles
travelled by bike instead of a car approximately 96 pounds of pollutants are removed from the air. The
project will enhance the quality of life in College Station and offer social benefits by providing bike access
between residential areas, city parks and a community amphitheater.
B. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. Provide evidence below of comrnunitY involvement and
public participation in project development. Include a description of any opportunities for public
participation in the process of selecting candidate projects.
The City of College Station adopt~d standards for bikeways in .1.992 after results of a city-wide survey
showed overwhelming support for b1keways (70% positive) and w1ll1ngness to pay for them (67% positive).
City staff then developed a draft Bikeway Master Plan which was accomplished over a six month period. A
bikeway "Focus Group" was developed to review and discuss the draft plan. The Focus Group included represe~tatives tror:n the City of Colle!;Je Station, the City of Bryan, Texas A&M University, the TXDOT, the
Texas Bicycle Coal.1tion, the A&M Cycling Team, the Col[ege Station Independent School District, the Parent
Teacher Organization, and the local traffic engineering community. This group recommended revisions to
the draft plan and along with the city planning staff developed the final Bikeway Master Plan.
Concurrently, as a major step toward implementation, the City Planning, Parks, and Public Services staffs
developed the Bike Loop project The project was presented to and discussed with the above Focus Group.
Bot~ the Master Plan and the f?ike Loop .were presented to the City's Planning & Zoning Commission at a
public meeting whern .they rece1v.ed una.rnmous support and recommendati on for approval. Once approved
by the P&Z Comrn1ss1on, .a public heann!;l was held before City Council where a petition with over 3,000
signatures was p~esent~d 1n .favor .of the B1keway ~aster Plan and the College Station Bike Loop project. (A
local r~staurant in con1unct1on with the Texas Bicycle Coalition was responsible for the petition.) The
Council C'.hambers overflowed as a result of people there to support the Bikeway Master Plan and the Bike.
Loop Project lj1e College ~tation City Council unanimously approved the Master Plan and the-Bike Loop .
proiect along with the associated monetary commitment.

E. CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION. It construction will be required, briefly discuss
below how it will be accomplished. lndude cost estimates.
The Bike Loop project will involve a number of "subprojects" that will be undertaken concurrently.
Development of the bike paths and bike path under-crossings will be the primary construction
activities. Approximately 4.1 miles of 10 feet wide concrete bike paths will be constructed at an
estimated cost of $584,000 which accounts for about 44% of the total project cost. Three bike
path under-crossings will be constructed at an estimated cost of $238,000. Two of the three
under-crossings can use existing box culvert structures while the third will require installation of a
new box culvert. The bike path under-crossings make up about 18% of the total project cost.
Other construction activities include installation of seven bike path bridges and striping and
signing of approximately 3.8 miles of bike lanes. The bridges, made of corten steel, come
completely prefabricated and will be set in place with a crane. Their estimated cost is $194,000
which is approximately 14% of the total project cost. The cost to install the bike lanes is estimated
at $27,000 which is about 2% of the total project cost. The remaining 22% of the estimated
$1.348 million total project cost will be for right-of-way acquisition, engineering design, and
contingency.
All striping, engineering design, and construction work will be contracted out. The City College
Station will provide project management and construction inspection services.
F. FACILITY OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN. Rot.Jtine, . .operations and
maintenance costs are not allowable enhancement costs. If a facility is being
proposed, discuss below how It will be operated and maintained. The plan will identify all parties
responsible for operation and maintenance. Estimate the annual cost to maintain said facility,
describe the source of those funds, identify expected annual gross income from the facility. if any,
and describe the intended use of that income.
The College Station Bike Loop will be a free public access bikeway system that will generate no
income. The care and maintenance of the bikeway system will be the responsibility of the Public
Services Department and the Parks and Recreation Department. These two city departments are
currently entrusted with similar maintenance activities.
Maintenance activities such as mowing, edging, trash pick-up and sweeping will be shared and
the responsibility of both departments. In addition, the Public Services Department will be
responsible for bike path concrete repair, bike lane restriping and resigning, and ensuring that all
bike path crossings through box culverts are safe and clean at all times. The City's Parks and
Recreation Department will have the additional responsibility of bridge maintenance and safety.
The estimated annual maintenance cost of the College Station Bike Loop is $125,000. A large
majority of this-cost is box culvert maintenance. The College Station City Council approved
monetary commitment for project maintenance. If the Bike Loop project is selected by the
Highway Commission, the $125,000 annual maintenance cost will be included in the annual.
operating budgets of the Public Services and the Parks Department for future years. Many of the
maintenance duties associated with the project can be covered under current city maintenance
programs.

RATIONALE FOR SELECTION OF PROJECTS
AS LISTED IN EXHIBIT A
Pursuant to Title 43, Texas Administrative Code, § 11.204, The Commission has
considered all relevant data and has selected for development those projects listed in
Exhibit A, based upon the rationale for each selection as follows:
Fort Worth Trinity River Trail (FW.TR.0054)
This project would add approximately six miles of trails to the existing 15 miles of
trails. These trails are currently used primarily for recreation. Through a public
relations plan, the City of Fort Worth will be encouraging the use of the trails for 'Short
distance trips and commuting. Tarrant County is an air quality non-attainment area,
and this effort should help in the reduction of traffic congestion and vehicular

dependence and congestion.
Comprehensive Urban Trail System (AU .TV .0231 l
This project will extend and improve the existing 24-mile trail system in the urban core
of Austin, to the point where it will function as an alternative transportation system.
Gaps in the existing system will be filled, in order to provide effective alternate
commuter routes. Development of an effective pedestrian and bicycle system will
reduce vehicular congestion and emissions.
Katy Trail Hike/Bike Trail (DL.DL.0313)
This project will preserve an abandoned railway c6rridor for multi-use transportation,
commuting and recreational purposes. The trail will provide alternative transportation
opportunities from downtown Dallas and the Stemmons industrial area. The trail will
parallel U.S. 75. This project should assist in efforts to reduce vehicular emissions in
the Dallas air quality non-attainment area through reducing vehicular congestion.
Denton Branch Rail/Trail (OL.DN.0335)
This project will preserve · an abandoned railway corridor and convert it to use as a
pedestrian and bicycle facility. Existing trestle bridges.will be preserved, and a historic
depot will be relocated adjacent to the trail. The trail will parallel the IH 35 corridor
and will provide an alternative transportat!on route for this congested area.
Exhibit "B"
Page 4 of 25
Medical Center/Greenway/Galleria Bikeways (HO.HR.0182)
This project is included in the Houston Bikeway Plan, and plans bikeways for areas
within a five mile radius of the Texas Medical Center, Greenway Plaza, and the
Galleria. All three of these areas are substantial employment centers. Bicycle
commuting will help Houston reduce vehicular emissions, and this project will assist
in that effort.
San Angelo Santa Fe Depot (SN.TG .0254)
This project will restore a significant transportation facility, the historic Santa Fe
Depot, as well as provide a transportation use as a bus terminal. The depot will also
be used for civic government functions as well as other functions that are in keeping
with the original character, intent and use of the property.
Texas Historic GIS Database (TX.TX.0019)
This project provides for development of a comprehensive database of historic
resources throughout Texas. This database will allow for better resource management
and will serve as an excellent statewide resource planning tool for archaeological and
historic resource planning and development.
Historic Belton-Bell County (WA. BL.001 2)
This project will restore a 125 foot high clock tower which was removed during the
1930s and the 1950s, as well as restore the roof to what approximates its original
state. Enhanced sidewalks, landscaping and lighting will also be provided in the
downtown Belton area, in order to spur development and tourism. In addition, a
sedimentation pond will be provided to filter pollutants from stormwater r.unoff. The
project will restore an important visual and historic element in Belton and provide an
environmental benefit as well.
Hill County Courthouse (WA.Hl.0004)
This project will restore an historic county courthouse which was partially destroyed
by fire in 1993. The courthouse, which was built in 1890, housed county
government until the fire. This reconstruction and restoration will allow this
historically important courthouse to be returned to its original function, and will
enhance the appearance of downtown Hillsboro. Visitors to Hillsboro will benefit from
Exhibit "B"
Page 5 of 25
a greatly enhanced visual experience, and an important symbol will be restored to the
community, the county, and the region ..
Boerne Corridors (SA.KE.0006)
The Boerne area is a popular destination for hikers ·and bikers because of the Hill
Country. This project will encourage alternative modes of transportation while
preserving an abandoned transportation (railway) corridor. The project will also open
up areas of Boerne to non-vehicular traffic, and thus, reduce vehicular traffic
congestion .
US 75 & SH 190 Recreation Trail (DL.C#.0295!.
This project will provide a trail linkage under US 75, which will link the existing Renner
Trail with the existing Spring Creek trail, and east Richardson with west Richardson.
The trail will parallel Spring Creek and will link up with the proposed Plano River Walk
located north of Collin Creek Mall. Short commuter and shopping trips can be more
easily accomplished, either by pedestrian means or by bicycle, and some vehicular
congestion and emissions may be reduced.

The project provides for a pedestrian and bicycle trail which will connect the Waco
Riverwalk and downtown Waco to Cameron Park and the Cameron Park Zoo. The trail
will be surfaced and lighted for evening use, and will form an important part of an
alternate transportation system and providing a viable alternative to vehicular
transportation.
Holiday Creek Pedestrian & Bicycle Trail (WF.WC.0112)
The project provides for a 1.42 mile long, 12' wide, pedestrian and bicycle trail
providing access from FM 369 (Southwest Parkway) to MH 7 (Midwestern Parkway)
adjacent to Holiday Creek in Wichita Falls. The project connects two major traffic

thoroughfares and will provide an all-weather path which wil.I encourage use of
alternate means of transportation.
Acquisition/Restoration of Champion Building (PH.CF.0265)
This project involves the acquisition of the historic Champion Building in Port Isabel.
The building, built in 1899, would be used as a museum and multi-cultural center.
The City of Port Isabel considers the building to be a centerpiece tourist attraction
focusing on Port Isabel as the first port of entry to the Rio Grande Valley. In addition,
a pedestrian and bike path will be provided to access all four corners of the property.
Colorado River Interpretive Sites (YK.CD.0203)
This project would develop two sites along the Colorado River in Colorado County,
near Columbus and Altair. The sites would focus on the historic commercial use of
the Colorado, including cargo and passenger uses. The sites would also include the
observation of natural resources of the Colorado River, as well as some educational
resources. The sites would include parking and roads, interpretive displays, and
viewing platforms along the river corridor.
Note: while the Transportation Enhancement Project Evaluation Committee (TEPECJ scores were included
in data provided to the Commission, the Commission is not bound by these scores or other TEPEC
recommendations and comments in the selection of projects for funding, pursuant to § 11.204 of the Rules.

Ilntermodal §urface 1f ransportation IEmciency Act of 1991
Workshops for Rural and Small Urban Officials
January 27, 1994
Dear Workshop Participant:
The eight regional workshops on the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act
(ISTEA) for rural and small urban officials were completed in May, 1993. To provide you
with current information on the ISTEA planning process, we are enclosing the U.S.
Department of Transportation final rule on Statewide Planning and Metropolitan Planning,
issued on Thursday, October 28, 1993. The rule guides states as they develop their
statewide transportation plans, and outlines the process for public involvement in shaping that
plan. We are enclosing the rule for your information and immediate use in developing your
statewide transportation plan.
As promised, we will send you the workshop proceedings shortly. We are in the final stages
of preparing the report, which will consist of two parts. Part I will be a "How-To Guide" on
holding state-level ISTEA workshops. The Guide will suggest guidelines on workshop
themes, steps in organizing a workshop, and !STEA contacts to arrange a workshop. Part II
will be a resource guide, and will include a list of participants and speakers from all eight
workshops, a glossary of ISTEA terms, and a compilation of action plans developed by
participants on a state-by-state basis. Part I is being developed, and Part II is at the printers.
We expect to send Part II by the middle of March.
We share your concern for participating in the !STEA statewide planning process. If we can
be of further assistance to you in that process, you can reach us at (202) 720-8042.
Sincerely,
Eileen S. Stommes

LIST OF CONCERNS
WITH
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Item 10. Environmental Mitigation (Page 3 of 7)
/The language in this item is unclear. It declares the state responsible for the preparation of
environmental assessment documents; however, it states that the City will perform an
ESA for hazardous materials impact. The responsibilities seem to overlap. Also , I am
concerned about the extent of the overall requirement. Does this item apply to the entire
project area, or only in instances where land acquisition is required. In any event, I would
suggest that the City avoid taking part in these activities. My suggestion is that the
entire clause be deleted.
Item 11. Certification (Page 3 of 7)
/The reference to environmental problems should be deleted.
Item 13. Architectural/Engineering Services (Page 3 of 7)
/Subsection D. -Specify Federal Goals for DBE/HUB participation.
Item 14. Acquisition of Construction Funds (Page 4 of 7)
/subsection B states that federal funds will be utilized for the planning and construction of
the Project and to compensate the State for the costs incurred in reviewing the contract
documents, construction oversight, administrative services, etc. Why then does
Subsection C require the City to warrant 20% of those funds? This section should be
deleted. ~ ~
vke'vise Subsection F to reflect that the State will perform an audit of costs upon
completion of construction. Should it be determined that additional funding is required by
the City, the City will make payment to the State, and that any funds due the City will be
promptly returned.
Item 15. Construction Responsibilities (Page 5 of 7)
Subsection A, as written, makes the City responsible for any and all change orders. The
following (or similar language) should be added to the end of the paragraph: "provided
the change or changes increase the cost of the project beyond that as defined in Items 13
and 14."
tern 16. Maintenance Responsibilities (Page 5 of 7)
The following language should be added to the end of the sentence: "except for
deficiencies identified as items covered under the warranty provisions of the construction
contract."
~m 17. Ownership of Documents (Page 5of7)
Fourth line, add after State: "and the City". The last sentence should be revised as
follows : "All documents produced, approved or otherwise created by either party shall be
transmitted to the other party in the form of photocopy reproduction on a monthly basis."
~m 18. Termination (Page 5 of 7)
Delete everything after the first sentence in subsection B.
tern 20. Indemnification (Page 6 of 7)
/ tJ.J.c.. ~t
Delete subsection C. ~ f~
f4/,.-J:i s 'tf.J..,/., 'i'A--.
First line, after "liabilities", delete "due to the activities of the City, its officers, employees,
agents and contractors performed under this agreement and".
Ed, these are the main items that I think need to be addressed. I would suggest that you
compile everyone's comments and submit the proposed revisions to the State, and let's see
what happens. Once we come to an agreement on the terms and conditions, then we can
pursue CRC recommendations. If you have any questions, let me know.

Dear Mr. Hard,
Both the Federal Highway Administration and ANT ARES Group would like to thank you for
your co-operation and support in providing project data for the Visual Database of Transportation
Enhancements (VDTE), Version 1.0. The CD-ROM was released in September 1996 and has
been received with great success. If you have not yet received the CD-ROM and the FHwA
brochure ''Leaving a Place Better Than We Found it", please contact Tim Lidiak: at the
Transportation Enhancements Clearinghouse at (202) 463-0641.
VDTE, Version 1.0 was released with 245 Transportation Enhancement Projects integrating text,
graphics, photographs, audio, and video elements of both project and program information in an
easily accessible format. The database was developed based on State and local requests for
information on Transportation Enhancement Program (TEP) projects and the sharing of "lessons
learned." With the success of the VDTE, Version 1.0, FHwA has decided to update the database
and include new projects as well as updated information on projects already in the database.
ANT ARES Group is continuing its VDTE data collection effort and again kindly requests your
support. Since FHwA's primary goal is to assist you, the project sponsors, and the States, all
responses will be voluntary. However, we are hoping to achieve a good national-level mix and a
representative cross-section of all transportation enhancement categories. In addition, we hope to
include in the database those projects that are unique, exemplary, or have aspects that make them
highly probable candidates for national replication. The goal over the next year is to produce a
database that will include data on over 400 projects.
We will be collecting the information over the next two to three months, and concurrently
entering the data into the database and returning original media. We are asking that you provide
us with updated, as well as new textual data and multimedia information on projects where you
supplied data before for the transportation enhancement projects that have been programmed,
are under construction, or have been completed. In addition, if you are responsible for other
Transportation Enhancement Projects that have not been included in the database, please send us
the new project data. If you are aware of other projects that should be included in the database,
please pass this information onto those parties in charge or have them contact ANT ARES
Group.

If you have a copy of the VDTE, Version 1.0 CD-ROM (or earlier Beta versions), there is
documentation under the icon "Send Us Your Project Data" that explains the program and the
type of data we are looking for. There is also a data template under the icon "Project Data
Template" for providing textual data on your projects. Because this is a multi-media database,
any slides, photographs, site plans, architects' sketches, video footage on videotape (VHS or
3/4" format), and audio recordings that you can send are just as important as text. All
materials sent to ANTARES will be copied and returned to you. We would ask that you send
project data as soon as possible, but no later than March 15, 1997. Please send all materials to:
ANT ARES Group Inc.

tel. (301) 731-1900, fax (301) 731-1904
Anyone contributing project data will be sent the production version of the Visual
Database of Transportation Enhancements on CD-ROM in 1997.
FHwA believes that this advanced visual database will help increase local participation as well as
take advantage of "lessons learned" by prior program participants. Additionally, given the current
Congressional interest in programmatic results and effectiveness across all elements of the Federal
government, there is a high probability that the Visual Database will be used this coming year for
FHwA staff presentations to the U.S. Congress informing/educating them on the value of the

Re : lntennodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act Enhancement Fwulingfor
rehabilirarion of historic buildings in Texas (FHWNJ06)
Dear Mr. Burnett:
Texas Historical Commission (THC), in its role as the State Historic Prescrvarion
Office (SHPO), is working with che Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to
review Intermodal Surf ace Tran:;portation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) enhancement funding in
accordance with the National H•scoric Preservation Act. We are pleased that substantial
ISTEA funds will be spent on historic prcservacion projcctc;, and believe that TxDOT's
efforts on this program will greatly benefit the citi7..ens of Texas though economic
development, increased tourism, and fostering of pride in Te;icas heritage.
Al the same time, THC is concerned that adrnjnistration of ISTEA funds on historic
properties in Texas may not have adequare professional oversight under current TxOOT
policie's and procedures~ and that adverse effects to historic propercies receiving
rchabiliration fonding under this program could be the result. One concern about the
planned implc°.1entati.on of this program i~ Tx~OT' s. policy prohibiting 9ualifyin~ language
for contractors m project documents. Whtle this pohcy may be appropnate for highway
construction projectc;, it presents grave danger when applied to historic rehabilitation ~d
restoration projects.
Many necessary types of work on historic buildings take skill and years of practice
to i;naster; inferior work can severely damage the historic fabric of a building (e.g.,
ck.aning, repointing and patching historic mac;onry, installation of standing seam metal
roqfs, structural repairs, plaster repair, window and door rehabilitation, etc.). Texas
General Services Comrnission employs qualifying language in ics contract documents for
rehabilitation projects. We strongly recommend ttiat this TxDOT policy be revised to aJlow
for'qunlifying language in rehabilitation proje.ct documents for historic buildings, and to -
avoid the potential of adverse effecc on these federally funded projcctc;_
We are also concerned tnat TxDOT policy apparently pre.eludes allowing the same
project professional who develops project documents to administer or manage the project

work. Contract documents we have seen for ISTEA enhancement projects stipulate that tl1e
project professional will develop the project documents, but that TxDOT (or its
representative) will administer the project work. This course of action would confu~e and
complicate the coordination of the project with our office, and has significant potential to
cause adverse effects on historic properties.
Traditional architectural practice consists of five important and integrated pha~es
chat, particularly on historic preservation projects, should be administered by a single
architect These phases consist of: I) Schematic Design, 2) Design Development. 3)
Construction Drawings, 4) Bidding Negotiation, and 5) Conscruction A(;'.fministration.
Under TxDOT's proposed guidelines, the Historical Architect will oversee production of
Schematic Design through Construction Drawings. Ic is during these three phases the
archit~.ct becomes familiar wirh the historic building, and develops appropriate mcrhods and
approaches for rehabilitation.
The final two phases of r~habilitation work are very important to the success of the
project, and to avoiding an adverse effect on the historic building. During Bidding
Negotiarion, addenda are invariably issued on rehabilitation projects. The Histori<;:
Architect who produced the Contract Documents should issue these addenda and administer
the work to ensure its appropriateness and compliance with the Secretary of the /1!ferior's
Sta'!dards for Rehabilitation (Scandards). Throughout the course of rehabilitation work the
same Historic Architect should be consulted when, as invariably happens with historic
buildings, unforeseen conditions arise. When this happens, it is important that careful
deci sions be made to preserve the historical integricy of the property. THC should also be
given the opportunity to review significant change orders for compliance with the
Standards.
Many items of project work must be overseen by a professional with experience in
working with historic buildings, to ensure that specifications are followed and to approve
subminals and test work by the contractor. A project manager that was not involved in
project planning, and plan and specification development, would not have the knowledge
of the project documenrs to appropriarely interpret them for che contractor and effectively
oversee the work. Acquired knowledge of the particular historic building, historic .
preservation technology and the Standards, will help ensure that sound decisions are made,
so that the project will not adversely effect the historic property.
In a related concern, Chere appears to be much misinfonnation and concern about
adm inistration costs for JSTEA projects. Please clarify chis TxOOT policy for us.
We strongly suggest that TxDOT follow tradicionaJ architectural practice and allow
funding recipients to hire a competent project professionaJ to develop project plans and
specifications and administer the project work. Not qualifying contractors and not
employing the professional who developed the project documents co perfonn construction
admi~~strat.ion both present a high risk o~ ~amage to historic buildings. With both of these
cond1r1ons in effect, however, rhe probability of an adverse effect to the buildings is very
high. .

The Reality
Estimated cost for TXDOT to administer the project is 20% ($124,348). This cost was added
following the application and selection process. As the City is responsible for all costs in
excess of the approved federal share, this will increase our contribution by this amount.
TX.DOT confirmed the project must comply with the Davis Bacon wage requirements at our
Feb. 8th meeting. Requirement is expected to increase total costs by 15% ($95,000).
Construction costs have increase substantially since the time the application was submitted.
TxDOT estimates it will take 7 mo. from contract execution til a consultant/project manager
is on board.
TxDOT and the City are closer to being 50-50 partners in this project.
