6. ProjectDescription
(Limited to 3500 Characters wifh spaces)
The City of Friendswood, Texas proposes to install pavement striping for defined bicycle and
travel lanes by incorporating the use of an engineer designed pavement marking plan on Falcon
Ridge Boulevard. The striping will begin at the intersection of Farm to Market Road 528 and
: Falcon Ridge Boulevard and then continue on through to the intersection of Hawkhill Drive and
Falcon Ridge Boulevard. The existing roadway conditions create not only dri�er confusion, but
also pose a threat of danger to the school children that currently attend the Friendswood Junior
High School located on Falcon Ridge just passed Hawkhill Driee. Falcon Ridge Blvd is used as
one of the major access points to the Jr. High for not only the current residents that li�,e in the
` neighborhoods off of Falcon Ridge but also for the rest of the City of Friendswood since there is
: just one Jr. High School in the City. During the school year, the times just before and after
school, the Boulevard becomes congested with�t;hicles, buses, 6icycles and pedestrians all
arriving or Ieaving the school grounds at the same time. It is at these times where residents in the
area haee expressed to us the possible dangers existing for school children and also the dri�,er
confusion in the roadway. The ultimate purpose of this proposed striping plan is to create
designated lanes of tra�,el for both eehicles and 6icydes while reducing the risk of possible
incidents between roadway users. The first half of the boulevard is proposed to contain designated
parking, bike and tra�,t;l lanes while the second half of the roadway will just haee designated bike
�- and tra�el lanes with a striped center median. The portion of Falcon Ridge Boulevard, from FM 528
�. to just past Middle Creek St., is composed of two 24 foot cur6 and gutter roadways diNded by a
raised median with a posted speed limit of 20 miles per hour. Homes along this portion of the
'� roadway ha�,e frontage property and many residences park their�.ehicles on the road. Pro�iding a
definite parking, bike and tra�,zl lane in this area will reduce dri�,er and bicyclist confusion by
providing�isual markers for both dri�rs and cyclists. The second half of Falcon Ridge, the portion
�.� between Twin Oaks St. and Hawkhill Dc, consists of a 40 foot wide curb and gutter roadway also
with a posted 20 mile per hour speed limit. Vehicles haee been obsen,�d dri�ing on this section as
though it was intended to ha�,e four lanes of traffic when its original intent was just to ha�two.
' The proposed striping in this section of roadway would decrease dri�er and cydist confusion by
pro�iding a designated bike lane along both sides of the street and a striped center median to keep
the original intent of the roadway as true as possible. Homes in this section of roadway do not
ha�t;frontage properties and therefore roadside parking is not an issue in this area. The City of
Friendswood has consulted a Design Engineer with roadway striping experience. The design is
cumently in the final re�iew stage. The design will meet the latest required AASHTO standards
���� and wili use the guidelines set for the in the TxDOT MUTCD for any signage required.
In condusion the implementation of this project will not only create safer passage ways for both .
t �zhicle and bicyclist alike, but will also decrease dri�.er confusion and allow for less strenuous
tra�ls to and from the Friendswood Junior High School.
