May 19, 2020 - Harris County Commissioners Court approved updates to project details in the 2018 Bond Program List. Update reallocates funds to new Bond ID F-123 to support the Cedar Bayou Bond Implementation Management (BIM) Project.

September 24, 2019 – Harris County Commissioners Court authorized and initiated this project

Project Description

This project involves the anticipated design and construction of a stormwater detention basin in the Cedar Bayou watershed between I-10 and US Highway 90, which is part of the Cedar Bayou Bond Implementation Management (BIM) Project.

During storm events, ponding occurs in the area around the Cedar Bayou main stem, especially in the areas north of Hadden Road and Hunter Village. The Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) will identify and evaluate locations for a stormwater detention basin to reduce flood risk and maximize benefits to the communities within the watershed.

Stage

This project is currently undergoing the PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING stage and conceptual design stage. This effort will result in more detailed recommendations for flood damage reduction projects and an implementation strategy for those projects in the form of a PER.

Location

The Preliminary Engineering Report will evaluate locations along the mainstem of Cedar Bayou for a stormwater detention basin from U.S. Highway 90 to I-10.

Bond Project Listing

Bond Project F-47 is a “Local Only” project, which means there is no funding partner identified at this time, and the project will be funded entirely from the 2018 Bond Program. The Bond Project List includes a total allocation for all stages and phases of this project, of $19.9 million.

PROJECT LIFECYCLE

Every flood damage reduction project is unique. Yet each project begins and ends, with common and predictable milestones along the way. Whether a project moves forward – and how quickly – depends on many factors, including the availability of funding at each milestone, shifting community priorities for flood damage reduction, and other changing circumstances (such as the price of trees or concrete) from year to year.
