WHEREAS, The Hidalgo County Metropolitan Planning | ||
Organization (MPO) is the federally funded transportation planning | ||
entity for Hidalgo County; and | ||
WHEREAS, Transportation planning decisions made by the | ||
Hidalgo County MPO reflect the priorities of its planning partners, | ||
which are the cities within the urbanized area of Hidalgo County; | ||
the Metropolitan Statistical Area includes Hidalgo, Mission, | ||
McAllen and Edinburg; and | ||
WHEREAS, The City of Hidalgo proposes to include Produce Road | ||
between State Highway 115 and State Highway 336 in the Hidalgo | ||
County MPO Thoroughfare Plan for future planning purposes; the | ||
roadway serves as a collector of commercial truck traffic between | ||
the two state highways and needs to be improved; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Hidalgo City Council has passed a resolution of | ||
support to direct city staff to include Produce Road as a priority | ||
in the city's thoroughfare plan and to urge the Hidalgo County MPO | ||
to include the roadway in the Hidalgo County MPO Thoroughfare Plan; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The Hidalgo County MPO Thoroughfare Plan identifies | ||
roadways that need to be improved to meet the county's future | ||
transportation needs, and the inclusion of Produce Road would | ||
benefit area residents; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
hereby respectfully urge the Hidalgo County Metropolitan Planning | ||
Organization to include Produce Road in the Hidalgo County MPO | ||
Thoroughfare Plan; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward a copy of | ||
this resolution to the director of the Hidalgo County MPO. |
