FM 518 Bypass Public Meeting Set for June 10th
The City of League City will hold a public meeting on June 10th at 7:00 p.m. at the League City Council
Chmabers to address citizen questions and concerns regarding the FM 518 Bypass Project. The project is
intended to help alleviate traffic congestion at the Five Corners, one of the region’s most congested
intersections. The meeting, which was originally scheduled for May 27th, has been postponed to allow the
City to gather additional data.
City Manager Marcus Jahns has set up an internal working group to address community concerns regarding
the project. “Moving forward, we plan to meet with key project partners to ensure that we improve mobility
while being sensitive to all concerned,” said Public Works Director, Rich Oller, who is leading the project.
Oller is also coordinating the flow of information with a citizen group that is being assembled.
Key questions regarding the project, which has been in the planning process for nearly 10 years, revolve
around environmental and neighborhood issues as well as cost-benefit analyses of the chosen route. These
questions and others are to be addressed at the June 10th meeting. Information concerning the 518 Bypass
Project, as well as this meeting, can be found under the FM 518 Bypass Project button on the homepage of
leaguecity.com. Announcements of this meeting and other FM 518 Bypass public meetings will also be made
through the City’s Blackboard Connect phone, email and text system. Residents can sign up for the system on
leaguecity.com to ensure they receive notice of upcoming meetings.
