(Richmond, Texas)- Richmond City Commission approved a Professional Services Contract for $100,000 to Halff and Associates to prepare a comprehensive Traffic Mobility Plan for the City. The plan will take a holistic look at mobility in Richmond, addressing not only vehicular traffic, but also pedestrian, bicycle, and transit needs.

While the City has conducted individual traffic and trail studies in the past, this will be the first citywide mobility study that combines all modes of transportation into one plan. The project will include strong public engagement, a detailed crash analysis, and the evaluation of up to five intersections for potential safety and operational improvements. Recent policy changes, including the ordinance allowing golf carts and low-speed vehicles, will also be factored into the study.

This initiative supports the City’s Comprehensive Master Plan by strengthening transportation connections and expanding travel choices for residents, businesses and visitors.
