This federal Project Grant award for $552,160.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration under the Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 20.940). The funding will support a planning effort by the City of Houston's Planning and Development Services Division, operating as Public Works and Engineering, to address infrastructure barriers and improve multimodal transportation connectivity in the Gulfton area. The project will build on previous planning work, conducting public and stakeholder engagement, evaluating existing conditions, analyzing design alternatives, and developing a recommendation and implementation plan. This award aims to remove, retrofit, or mitigate legacy infrastructure challenges that have historically divided the Gulfton community, with the goal of enhancing access, mobility, and economic development opportunities.

The planning effort will include public and stakeholder engagement, an existing conditions evaluation, design and analysis (three alternatives to extend past hillcroft avenue project north and two alternatives to extend IT south), and a recommendation and implementation plan.
