Question: Property [Sta 1220+00 to 1235+00] drops ~4 feet below road. With new sidewalk will there be fill? I want to put in a fence, can I put it in or should I wait?
No changes to the frontage road/sidewalk are proposed as part of the I-10, I-410 to Loop 1604 project adjacent to this property.
Construction is scheduled to begin soon for the conversion of frontage roads between Foster Road and Loop 1604, which was cleared as a separate project. The sidewalk is part of the frontage road project. Comment has been provided to the TxDOT San Antonio District I-10 frontage road project team.
I am planning a landfill. I do not like the conversion of the frontage road from two-way to one-way. My customers (trucks) will need to drive to FM 1516 to turn around.
See above response regarding the frontage road project. The proposed turnaround lanes at FM 1516 would facilitate the turnaround movements customers make at this intersection.

I would like to see a transportation envelope preserved for future HOV/managed lanes on the IH10 corridor for the ability to move people in the future. Structures should be positioned in order to accommodate this envelope. Thx.
The layout of the proposed improvements accommodates a future transportation envelope and structures have been positioned to accommodate this envelope.

The project seems beneficial to ease traffic congestion & danger on highway in peak periods where traffic is backed up on highway.
Comment noted.
We have concern for our guests staying at the hotel that may be affected by noise, particularly late night/early morning. Also concern over utilities being shut-off for our guests – and, if this is necessary, if this can be scheduled with us directly to minimize impact. We would like to request that night work is not done around the hotel.
We would be grateful for any assistance that you may provide with regards to the above comments.
Thank you.
Noise impacts to sensitive receptors are considered as part of the environmental review process for the project. In accordance with TxDOT guidance and practice, the outdoor pool is being analyzed as part of the study, since noise analyses are concerned with areas of frequent outdoor use. In addition, noise is analyzed for the loudest hour – that hour which represents the worst case combination of vehicle mix and speeds.
Noise associated with the construction of the project is difficult to predict. Heavy machinery, the major

source of noise in construction, is constantly moving in unpredictable patterns. However, construction normally occurs during daylight hours when occasional loud noises are more tolerable. No extended disruption of normal activities is expected. Provisions will be included in the plans and specifications that require the contractor to make every reasonable effort to minimize construction noise through abatement measures such as work-hour controls and proper maintenance of muffler systems.
The TxDOT contractor will also be required to coordinate anticipated utility shut off, if necessary, with adjacent businesses and property owners. Comment has also been provided to the TxDOT San Antonio District I-10 frontage road project team.

The project looks great and will address much of the congestion along 1604 & I-10 in this area. I look forward to working with TxDOT in the future on this project.

Need for the Proposed Project
TTraffic along I-10 is projected to increase approximately 40% by the year 2040 and the percentage of trucks also continues to increase.
Pavement is deteriorating because of heavy traffic and poor soil conditions.
Existing interchange designs limit mobility.
Existing two-way frontage roads do not meet design standards.

PProposed Improvements
One mainlane would be added in each direction to accommodate traffic growth.
Existing I-10 mainlanes would be reconstructed to address deteriorating pavement conditions.
Mobility would be addressed by improving the function of interchanges at Ackerman Road, Foster Road, Loop 1604, and Graytown Road.

I-10 East, I-410 to Loop 1604 Public Meeting November 3, 2016
TTwo-way frontage roads between Loop 1604 and Pfeil Road would be changed to one-way operation to improve safety.
Two-way frontage roads west of Loop 1604 are being changed to one-way under a separate project -- currently underway.
New frontage road would be provided for Loop 1604 north of I-10 to provide access to adjacent properties.
Sidewalks would be added along proposed frontage roads.
Proposed improvements are within the existing right of way (ROW) with approximately 5 acres of additional ROW that would need to be acquired. No displacements are anticipated.
