If you have driven down Memorial Drive within the last few months you may have seen some work going on along the southside of the roadway just west of Memorial Drive Methodist United Church.
Earlier this summer, I utilized a portion of my Council District Service Fund to install a new sidewalk extending from Brittmoore Road to the parking lot of Memorial Drive Methodist.
After this was completed, I realized that we could do better. I wanted to make this sidewalk as safe as possible for kids and the first attempt just didn't cut it. So I collaborated with the team at the Houston Public Works Department and we designed the widest possible sidewalk while still keeping the adjoining open ditch for drainage.
I also funded the extension of the curb from Wilchester Boulevard to Brittmoore Road on the south side of Memorial Drive.
I was pleased with the final outcome and was overwhelmed by the gratitude shown by the kids and parents who came out this afternoon to show their appreciation.
I want to extend a special thank you to Nicole Hobson and all the parents who worked with her and our office to make this happen.
