Sugar Land City Council approved a $1.3 million contract with Bio Landscape and Maintenance for landscaping improvements along U.S. Highway 90A and State Highway 6.

The improvements will include trees and shrubs that are similar to plantings along U.S. Highway 59.

The Highway 6 project will include areas from Brooks Street to Sugar Land Regional Airport, and the U.S. 90A landscaping will extend from U.S. 59 to just west of Highway 6.

The project will also include irrigation and an additional $36,600 for the widening of a pedestrian sidewalk from 6 to 8 feet from Lombardy to Dairy Ashford.
