Design and preparation of final plans including base and final right of way maps
to extend Staring Lane to Burbank Drive. The scope of the Staring Lane Extensi
on project was to construct a new four-lane and five-lane curb and gutter roadwa
y with sidewalks and subsurface drainage. Also, the project improves the condit
ions on Highland Road with the addition of left turn lanes at the intersection o
f Staring Lane and Highland Road. This project also included a full extensive p
reliminary and final design study as well as the construction of noise barriers
along Highland Creek Subdivision, a quad beam bridge crossing Bayou Fountain, an
d channel re-alignment of Bayou Fountain. Responsible for the design study and
the design and project management throughout the final design stages.
