Several pedestrian safety projects in the Heights area are underway after Houston City Council approved a pair of projects March 18.
What this means
Planned improvements will take place along West 11th Street in District C. In partnership with the Memorial-Heights Redevelopment Authority, intersections will be improved by restriping crosswalks and installing pedestrian amenities.
Intersections that are set to be improved along West 11th Street are:
District C allocated over $65,000 toward the improvement projects and partnered with Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones.
“These are additional ways families not only walk and bike to school but also to the Lorraine Cherry Nature Preserve,” District C council member Abbie Kamin said. “This allows families to safely cross from one side of Timbergrove to get to the park, to get to school, so we appreciate the partnership with the Memorial Heights Redevelopment Authority and the neighborhoods.”
What else?
The city also approved funding for the construction of new sidewalks, crosswalks and rectangular rapid flashing beacons at the intersection of White Oak Drive and Greenleaf Street in District H.
Funding for the District H project is $69,000.
