Houston's District C moves forward with drainage projects, study for new trail

Houston officials approved a pair of projects that would improve drainage infrastructure and expand access to green space in District C.

What this means

Houston City Council approved a contract for $9.1 million April 8 to fund pavement, storm sewer and waterline improvements in the Roseland community. Streets for that project include:

• Oakley Street from Montrose Boulevard to Spur 527
• Woodrow Street from Montrose Boulevard to Spur 527
• Kyle Street from I-59 to Richmond Avenue
• Roseland Street from I-59 to Richmond Avenue
• Stanford Street from I-59 to Richmond Avenue
• Greeley Street from Spur 527 to Richmond Avenue
• Jack Street from Spur 527 to Richmond Avenue

Reconstruction will include removing and replacing pavements and curbs, driveways, sidewalks, wheelchair ramps, utilities and traffic control devices.

Community Impact reached out to council member Abbie Kamin's office regarding the timeline of the project, but did not hear back by press time.
