Enhancing Capacity & Safety for 3 Intersections.
Sponsor: WSB Engineering
Student Team: Diedrich Welling, Kross Conley, and Suvekshya Niroula
Faculty Instructor: Dr. Felipe Gutierrez
The project involves expanding Fishtrap Road from US-377 to FM 2931/Main Street to accommodate surging traffic volumes exceeding 11,000 vehicles per day, driven by rapid residential development and overall city growth. Key focus areas include redesigning intersections at FM424, Oak Grove Lane (with a required roundabout), and FM 2931/Main Street, prioritizing safety for drivers, pedestrians, and nearby schools and churches while minimizing right-of-way acquisition, utility disruptions, and costs. Alternatives will be evaluated based on criteria such as traffic operations, sustainability, and constructability, ensuring compliance with TxDOT standards to support future multimodal needs.
