Title
Consider and take action on a resolution adding the League City Parkway: 2025 HSIP Safety Improvements Project (CSJ 0912-00-761) to the City’s FY2027 Capital Improvement Program and authorizing Staff to prepare an Advanced Funding Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for future Council consideration (Executive Director of Development Services)
