Special Studies, we have included the FM 60 Corridor Study Phase Two to cover the
segment fi°om Texas Avenue to Boonville in FY 2018 and added work tasks related to the
Texas Innovation Alliance and the Houston to Fort Worth Corridor Concept. For FY 2019
under Special Studies, we have included tasks for the development of a Congestion
Management Process and work to assure a smooth transition to Transportation
Management Area status. Per public participation procedures, a notice for public
comments was posted on the MPO website and a press release sent to local media outlets
