Council hears updates on Street Bond Phase 3: North Parrish redesign and Silver Saddle repaving
Summary
Staff described proposed curb-and-gutter reconstruction for North Parrish to meet city standards (roadway lowering, ADA access and parking changes) and a narrower repaving/realignment for Silver Saddle to preserve trees; combined conceptual cost is approximately $3.4 million for both projects.
Angleton City Council on Jan. 14 heard progress updates on two street-bond projects in Phase 3: North Parrish near Hamilton ISD and the Silver Saddle cul-de-sac off Bronco Bend.
Staff said North Parrish will be converted from an elevated roadway with roadside ditches to a standard curb-and-gutter section. Because the ditches will be removed, the roadway grade will be lowered between 1.5 and 2.5 feet to maintain positive drainage. The proposed cross section includes a 28-foot roadway with 6-inch curb and gutter, 24-inch storm sewer, and a 5-foot sidewalk on the east side; staff described special grading and a rollover curb near a special-needs school parking lot to preserve ADA access and maximize front-door parking.
Staff acknowledged the street'level changes will require temporary traffic controls, short-term driveway work, and a low-profile barrier during certain phases to protect vehicles and pedestrians. The estimated paving and drainage budget for North Parrish was approximately $2.8 million. Staff said additional coordination with Angleton ISD and stakeholders is planned.
Silver Saddle is a narrow residential asphalt street that narrows to about 10— feet in places where only one car can pass. Staff proposed an 18-foot elevated asphalt section with black-base stabilization to preserve existing trees by shifting the roadway alignment in places. Staff said they walked the neighborhood and discussed options with residents; the conceptual Silver Saddle estimate was in the low hundreds of thousands and staff rounded the pair of projects to a combined total of about $3.4 million for the two streets.
Council asked staff about timeline and TxDOT approvals for tie-ins where state right-of-way is involved; staff said they submitted plans and will follow up with TxDOT on review timing. Staff said Silver Saddle could be quicker to complete than Parrish because it is a smaller project and may come in under estimate.
No action was taken; staff will continue design refinement, TxDOT coordination and resident outreach.
