Houston Public Works expects to advertise this project in January 2022 and expects to award the contract in April 2022. There will be a pre-construction public engagement meeting sometime after the award in May or June 2022. Construction is anticipated to start in August 2022. The anticipated completion of this Sub-Project is 2024. Sub-Project 2 will involve many of the same features as Sub-Project 1. This project consists of the design for reconstruction of approximately 4,000 linear feet, a four-lane divided concrete roadway with storm drainage, curbs, sidewalks, driveways, street lighting, traffic control, and necessary underground utilities. The scope includes improvement of drainage and an upgrade of the existing roadway to Major Thoroughfare and Freeway Plan (MTFP) standards.
Last year I walked the entire length of the project with the Public Works team and an arborist. We went through every tree along the way and discussed the possibility of saving each tree marked for removal. I am happy to report a majority of the trees will be saved and the ones marked for removal are only the trees that absolutely must be removed. I plan to walk the project again in the coming months to make sure the original tree plan is still intact and to discuss any suggested changes.
More information on the project can be found on the Engage Houston website.
