  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Texas Department of Transportation
  Address of Requesting Entity: 125 East 11th Street, Austin, TX 78701
  Description of Request: I have secured $400,000 in funding to help 
upgrade Loop 494 from Sorters McClellan Road through Northpark Drive in 
Kingwood, TX. The goal of the project is to widen the existing two-lane 
road into a four-lane concrete boulevard with medians, curbs and 
appropriate drainage similar to the look of existing streets in 
Kingwood. The project helps the flow of traffic on this busy road and 
increases safety.

  Description of Request: I, along with Reps. Gene Green and Ron Paul, 
have secured $400,000 in funding to help construct a flyover ramp 
connecting southbound Highway 146 traffic directly to Spur 330 in

especially in disaster evacuations as a result of hurricanes.
