The Federal Highway Administration awarded a Formula Grant of $332,962.00 to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on May 30, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205).

The deliverables include construction of six-foot-wide sidewalks, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant ramps, crosswalks, and new signage along South 17th Street, Loggins Street, Texaco Street, Gulf Drive, and South 14th Street.

This award supports the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) objectives by advancing multimodal transportation network improvements and pedestrian safety enhancements.
