RESO 2011-12 - support of US 190-I-10 feasibility study - 4/5/11RESOLUTION 2011 -12
A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE US-190/1-10 FEASIBILITY STUDY
Whereas the population of Texas is 25 million and is expected to increase to more than 37 million
by 2030, the state will require additional transportation capacity for moving people and freight throughout
Texas and to markets in surrounding states; and
Whereas the geographic triangle in the center of Texas between Houston/Galveston, Dallas/Fort
Worth, and Austin/San Antonio is expected to see a substantial percentage of this population growth, and
Whereas the US- 190/1 -10 interregional route has the potential to answer a significant need for
transportation capacity to serve population and commercial growth in this geographic triangle in the center of
Texas; and
Whereas the Department of Defense is the largest employer in Texas and the US- 190/1 -10
interregional route will link Fort Bliss to Fort Hood to Fort Polk and to their strategic deployment ports at
Cvrpus-Christrand Be�ont;`�d --
Whereas the development of the US- 190/1 -10 interregional route would provide an East/West
linkage between I -35, 1-45, and I -69 allowing the movement of people and freight across Texas without
entering the Federal Clean Air Act non - attainment airsheds of either Houston/Galveston or Dallas/Fort
Worth, thus providing a statewide benefit; and
Whereas the development of the US- 190/1 -10 interregional route between Fort Hood and the City of
Livingston to interstate standard and the completion of I -69 would provide uninterrupted interstate linkage
between campuses of the Texas A&M University System located in Texarkana, College Station, Temple,
Killeen, San Antonio, Laredo, Kingsville, and Corpus Christi.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS THAT:
1. The City Council supports the work being done on the US- 190/1 -10 Feasibility Study.
