Background Information:
A.W. Grimes Boulevard (FM 1460) between University Boulevard and Old Settlers Boulevard is a rural
two lane roadway which is experiencing high volumes of traffic. Further, this roadway bisects the Avery
Center development, which will significantly add to the high traffic volumes. Plans have been completed
for the widening of this roadway; however, until now funding has not been available - the current
estimated cost of this roadway is $19 million. Recently, TxDOT was notified that $10 million would be
available from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act to construct this roadway. Furthermore,
the Avery Center developer, Waterstone Development has agreed to contribute up to 50% of the
funding shortfall, not to exceed $5 million. This interlocal agreement will divide the remaining balance
